Manage Flash in your users Chrome Browsers This article applies to only managed versions of Chrome Browser.

Chrome OS comes with Flash built-in, and Flash cannot be uninstalled on Chrome OS devices.

In Chrome 76 and later, Flash Player is turned off by default.

Users can manually switch to ask first before running Flash, without impacting policy settings that you set for Flash.

For details about shipped and upcoming changes, see the Flash Roadmap.

However, some admins may want to manage their users Flash experience.

In Windows Group Policy Editor, set ComponentUpdatesEnabled true.

Chrome will download and install Flash Player and update it as needed.

If the Component Updater is left enabled, Chrome will choose to use either the Adobe Flash Player MSI dll or the Chrome plugin (whichever is newer).

If you do this, Flash will fall out of date as no updates will be installed from Google if Component Updater is disabled.

This could leave Flash open to potential bugs and security issues.

If Flash falls too far out of date, Chrome may block the outdated plugin.

If these policies are not configured, for Chrome 76 and later, Flash playback is blocked by default.

Users might see a message prompting them to click to enable Flash Player before they can click Allow to run the Flash plugin.

When users go to chrome:settingscontentflash, theyll see that Flash is set to Ask first and they cant change it.

When users go to chrome:settingscontentflash, theyll see that Flash is set to Block sites from running Flash (recommended) and they cant change it.

This change is intended to help you to determine which sites still require updating, while allowing you time to make adjustments before support for Flash is entirely removed in December 2020.
