Some technologies that were once developed for strictly specialized tasks have become common names over time. An example is xerox. However, few people now remember about copying machines, while flash is in the language of almost all users who regularly work on the Internet. By the way, what is it all about?

Over the years, so much audiovisual information has appeared on the Internet that it has become necessary to somehow standardize it.
Why do I need to install a player?
So how to install a flash player in the system and why is it not there initially? Let's start with the second question. The fact is that this is a third-party development, and therefore the creators of the OS simply do not have the right to embed it there. In addition, many developers criticize the inadequate level of flash security, gradually trying to find alternative solutions.Installation methods

If you consider yourself an experienced user, it’s best to select the “Notify me before installing updates” item. Then the program will ask for permission to install whenever the next update comes out.Offline installation
But how to install a flash player if you have so bad internet that online installation is impossible due to constant disconnection? On the same official site, you need to find the item "Download flash player for another computer", and then start downloading the already complete package. In this case, you can use the download manager, which doesn’t care about connection breaks.
Actually, further installation is no different from the process described above.
Important!
Why are we always talking about the official site? It's all about the security of your computer. We have already mentioned that computer security experts have long criticized Flash Player for the fact that more and more vulnerabilities are constantly being detected in the program.
More than 70% of computer damage when malware penetrated the browser was possible because users either did not update the flash player, or downloaded it from the “left” sites.
If you downloaded the installation kit on some dubious portal, hung with banners and pop-ups, then you will almost certainly gain a lot of problems when installing it. Do not do that! Remember - you can only use Flash Player, obtained on the official site of Adobe!Update Issues

Before installing the flash player correctly, click on the "Start" button, go to the "Control Panel". A dialog box opens in which you need to click on Flash Player. In the dialog that opens, go to the "Advanced" tab. There is the item “Change update settings”, in which you still need to check the box next to the item “Allow Adobe to install updates”, or just make sure that it is already there.
After that, you can click on the "Check Now" button, after which you will be transferred to the same official Adobe portal. The software on the site will check the version of flash installed on your computer, compare it with the number on the site, then give a warning about the need for an update or reassure you, assuring that your version is up to date.Android
