Flash Player update is linked to the default browser?  -Flash not automatically updated when Chrome is the default

Hello

I managed machines for an organization where the majority of users have no administrator rights.  I put the Flash drive to automatically install updates.  In accordance with article (old)

How the auto update feature does not work in Flash Player?

"Normal Flash Player installations require an administrator account. However, automatic updates are executed even if the user is logged on with a standard account. »


So I think my clients should be updated automatically to version 18.  However when I check, I see that they have not updated.  After watching cela some more I realize that when I use the control panel to check the updates that he launched Chrome, which is our default browser.  Of course, Chrome is up-to-date, because Google takes care of this.  However if I run IE and paste the URL of the version check in IE I see that flash is not up-to-date.  So, I try to run the update of IE, and when he is finished he launched a Chrome page again.  So it seems to me that Flash player uses whatever the browser is configured as default browser to search for updates with Adobe.  However this will not work if a user has Chrome as their default browser, and also has flash player installed separately for IE.


Do you understand my point?  How can I get Flash player automatically updated when a new version is available, even if my default browser is set on Chrome?


Thank you

Hey Piyush

Thank you very much for this information.  So basically the feature to 'Allow Adobe to update Flash Player' does not work in all changes of the version.  I find it incredibly misleading.  Rather that engage in a cumbersome process to allow each year the opportunity to distribute flash and then create group policies to deploy, and then test the results to have these policies in place when flash tries to update itself, pay attention to the current versions of flash in order to deploy new .msi files and update our policies...

I think I'll just remove the flash of all our systems.  It is clear that after installing flash is a continuous security risk and it is regrettable that we cannot rely on Adobe to help keep their own software update in a simple and effective way.  It's amazing to me that Google can do a better job of keeping flash updated in their browser at adobe.

Thank you

Scott

  • LR6 will not automatically start when the memory card is inserted

    Hello

    Recently upgraded to LR6 from LR 5.7.1. When LR 5.7.1 was installed, it would automatically start when the memory card is inserted. With only LR6 installed it does not open when the memory card has been inserted.

    I "see the import dialog when a memory card is detected."

    I have LR installed 6.0.1.

    When the memory card is inserted, you receive the following error message:

    If I right click on the disk memory and select Auto Open play, a list of programs appear particularly LR. The program is highlighted is

    If I click on LR in the list above, I encounter error "Application not found".

    When I manually start LR6, it works and I can manually import from memory card.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you

    Reader 9.3.4 cannot open files in sub directories (and all other directories), but if you move the files to the same directory where the pdf file is, they can be opened. Other people in the forums has encountered the same problem)

    ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/714892?tstart=0). I guess everyone will meet the problem when they click links in a pdf document that point to files in other directories. 9.3.3 seems do not have the problem.

  • Tried to download the last update, no compatible system, now browser does not work even when I tried to download it again. I have bookmarks, I want to come back.

    Currently, I have a Mac, version 10.5.8. My Firefox was slow so I tried to download the latest version. When it was downloaded, a message pops up saying that this version of Firefox is not compatible with my system. Well, ' don't quite no fault "I thought and I tired to go back to my previous browser.
    But when I went to click on it, there was a large circle with a line through it. I couldn't open anything. Firefox has actually been removed from my computer.
    Now it's ok if I can't start Firefox more but I got thousands of bookmarks, compiled over the years that I really want to go back. And I have no idea how to do that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello world.
    I have downloaded the old version of firefox, replaced the new with the old and boom! They were there!

    Sorry for the runaround. Just goes to show that you should always have backups for things.

    Thanks anyway.

  • Audio CD does not automatically play when the CD is inserted

    I have my settings set to read a CD automatically when the CD is inserted.  I insert an audio CD, and nothing happens.  No music.

    Hello

    Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.

    (1) made audio CD playback with Windows Media Player or any other third party software?

    (2) have you been able to use this feature before? If so what are the recent changes on the computer?

    Windows does not read the CD-Roma automatically if you only use the real-mode CD-ROM drivers. Protected mode drivers are called to play CD-ROMs automatically when you insert them into your CD-ROM drive.

    To manually change your auto CD play settings in Windows Vista

    1. open the control panel by going to the start menu.

    2. double-click on the default programs icon.

    Now choose the third setting down. Change AutoPlay settings.

    4. now you can choose which action to perform with which program.
    5. press on the drop-down menu to make your choice.

    Response please back and let us know if this helped with your question or let us know if you need more assistance.

  • Height of the page not automatically adjusts when the drop down menu expanded

    Using Adobe Muse CC 2015 on a Mac, I created a Web page for my company (www.unafilm.de).  I used a horizontal menu in the master page to the layout of the pages of the subsites (news, movies, about, contact, etc.) to visitors. Everything works well except a menu items which is supposed to display an another 25 points / subpages.  They expand nicely, but I can show all because the height of the page does not take into account the length of the drop-down list. So, I can only see subpages on this particular menu point that allows at the height of the page. The page does not extend and I can also not scroll down.  No idea why? Thanks in advance.

    Is nothing, that you can change. It is simply how browsers work. Unless you want to annoy your customers with a browser window resizing script (bad idea), the window is not adapt. 25 menu entries using is perhaps not the best idea at first, anyway.
