Adobe ended support for Flash Player at the start of the year which means that it should be uninstalled on any devices that are still running it. Running unsupported software opens devices to security vulnerabilities that are no longer addressed after updates cease. For customers of OIT’s Dedicated Desktop Service (DDS), Flash Player will automatically be removed from managed systems.
These instructions will help you remove Flash Player if you are not supported by DDS or need to remove it from a personal device:
Remove Flash Player in Windows
Remove Flash Player in Mac OS
In July of 2017, Adobe announced the end of Flash Player, and since then, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla have blocked Flash Player from opening content in their browsers. Adobe officially sunset support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and on January 12, 2021, Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player.
If after the removal of Flash Player you discover a business need for it, you can contact your DDS professional for assistance through the DDS service request portal.
