The Flash plugin itself is responsible for the block, as of 12 Jan. This answer now probably more closely reflects the 'official stance'. There are potential workarounds in other answers below. For continuous usage in a browser, I'd prefer following Tetsujin's recommendation and try a standalone but supported Flash player, such as Newgrounds'. Note: In my case, the application using Flash works offline and should present minimal security risks. Note: the linked page mentions mmc.cfg, but my Flash folder had a mms.cfg file instead maybe it was a typo, but in any case I added the EOLUninstallDisable=1 line. I just tested an offline desktop application which had stopped working, and it works again. Copy the Flash directory with the modified binary to its original location.Rename the Flash directory (to avoid permission issues) to Flash.bak or something else.Search for the hexadecimal string 000040463E6F7742 (the timestamp) and replace it with 000000000000F87F.Copy the Flash directory ( C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash for 32-bit, C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash for 64-bit) to somewhere where I have write permission.

If all went well, the version should now be 24.0.0.221. If you look closely, the status goes from "component downloading" to "update ready" to "Component updated." It literally takes a second. If the version is anything other than 24.0.0.221, it needs to be updated.Ĭlick on the gray "Check for Update" button and the update happens in a flash (sorry). In the browser address bar.
