AskWoody PlusI received in WU this weekend an update for FlashPlayer for Windows 10 V. 1909. Did anyone else receive this update? Found it strange since FlashPlayer EOL was last week!

AskWoody PlusMy laptop updated thru WU but my desktop did not. I went to the update catalog and installed the same two kb’s you did.

AskWoody PlusYes. I have an ad blocker that works for gmail and outlook, but it does not block this. No header info, cannot scroll. Only way to not see it is click on an email. It is no big deal, just irritating! Thanks for your interest!

AskWoody PlusThat is not the problem. Why is there an outlook ad that cannot be removed without clicking on an email? Of course I will be clicking open an email but I have it set up to open with my emails, not some ad pushed by outlook. More big brother crud!!!

AskWoody PlusWanted to give you an update on trying to cleaCheck updr the Settings/Update and Security que. After doing all the steps in AKB2000013 was still seeing all updates even the ones I hid in wushowhide as pending download. So thought I should j be patient. So before turning pc off last night made sure I was on metered connection. This a.m., immediately run wushowhide and in hide it shows the two that should be there. In hidden shows the two I want hidden. Go to Setting/Updateand Security and it shows Nothing. Says all upto date, “Check for Updates”. So I check update history. Nothing new installed. So what happened? Who knows! So against all that everyone says “Do not click on Check for Updates” I clicked on Check for updates. WOW what a surprise! Only shows the two I wanted to download and install, so I did.First turning off metered. Then after install turned metered back on. The two I did not want to install are still showing hidden. I accomplished what I wanted to do but do not know how in the world I did it!!!
