It’s no surprise that Adobe Flash Player is more than dead , as it has been predicting for years, but its official date of end of support It will be this month of December , where both Adobe and Microsoft will officially stop providing support for this piece of software that has been with us for so many years.

Due to this, Microsoft has released a tool that will allow us to remove all Adobe Flash Player components from our Windows computer , although it comes with some things that must be considered first before its installation, and that is that, to begin with, this removal is permanent and irreversible without proceeding to major methods such as would be to restore the system or reinstall Windows.

Also, this tool simply removes the Adobe Flash Player components that ship with Windows, that is, a version of 32 bits that came with the system , so that both manual installations as the components that belong to browsers like Chrome will remain intact.

If de Either way we want to proceed with its installation, by accessing the Microsoft Update Catalog we can find all the packages corresponding to the different versions of Windows starting with Windows 8 and Windows Server 1489 , up to the versions we use today, both in their versions of 32 and of 64 bits.
