Flash Player ending

Hello,

on 12.01.2021 Adobe will uninstall / block the Flash Player in Windows. I was wondering about if I still could use it after this date since there is an option "Embed Flash player" in VisualNEO. So I tried and uninstalled Adobe Flash from my system. After that my testproject said "Requires Flash Player" and I couldnt use it anymore. Does this mean Flash is dead in VisualNEO aswell? I was hoping, giving me the option to "embed" the Flash Player would keep it alive for my projects. Is there anything planned to keep the Flash Player alive for our projects?

Regards

@fabian-grabowski if you uninstall Adobe Flash Player form your system it will not work under VisualNEO Win.
Although Adobe will never update Flash player any more there are plenty of alternative sources to download and install latest version.

Regards.

Thank you for your answer. After installing Windows KB4577586, which uninstalls the flash player, I was not able to reinstall it, even from alternative sources and you cant uninstall KB4577586. Some suggested to reinstall Windows as the only possibility to get it back. Other sources claim that Adobe implemented a "kill-switch" so even if you never uninstall it seems it will just stop working after that date. Guess I will switch to HTML5 instead which seems to work fine in VisualNEO Win.

Anyways, we will see after 12.01.2020.
