    I did the install today and updated my flash player. Yet it will not play the vids.

    It played them perfectly on windows 7 yesterday.

    Any ideas?

    Which browser? You don't need to upgrade Flash for either IE11, Edge or Chrome (Flash updates are handled by Windows Update for IE11 and Edge, and by Chrome itself).

    Are you getting an error message, or just a black box.

    Thanks. Went back to Windows 7.

    Could not be bothered with change this week.

    Now everything is running perfect(and faster) again

    I upgraded yesterday, and also have this problem. The screen just goes black when I hover over it, and refuses to play. Any help appreciated, and remember I am a bit of a gob****e.

    Do you have Flash turned off, by any chance?

    In Edge, click on the 3 dots at the top right, select Settings, then scroll down and click on View Advanced Settings. There's a button in there to turn Flash On or Off. With it Off, you just get a black box where a flash video would be.

    Flash is turned on.

    Is anyone experiencing slow browsing speed with chrome?

    Father just bought a brand new Acer yesterday and was prompted to upgrade . Now the thing is slower than his 7 year old dell laptop ....


    Why has microsoft not ironed these problems out?
