After seeing warnings about it for over a year, Windows 10 users are now being told to ditch Adobe Flash once and for all. The multimedia software platform powered many pre-YouTube animated videos like Homestar Runner. But now, Gizmodo reports Adobe Flash is officially ancient technology. As of December 31, 2020, Adobe stopped supporting the software. Updating Windows 10 will only remove the Adobe Flash Player that was installed by your version of Windows—not if you installed it manually from elsewhere. Once the update is applied, Adobe Flash will be removed from the Control Panel. Windows 10 users will not be able to roll back the update. Users can also uninstall Flash via Adobe’s website.

In its pursuit to push out its newest operating system to as many consumers as possible, Microsoft has set the Windows 10 update on previous versions of Windows to "recommended" status.
Microsoft has reportedly decided to delay the free Windows 10 Mobile update for select Windows 8 and 8.1 phones until "early next year." Windows 10 Mobile was originally scheduled to roll out to Windows Phone faithfuls this month. The delay dampens Windows 10 Mobile's prospects. Microsoft's mobile platform failed miserably at catching up to iOS and Android and quickly became irrelevant in the eyes of consumers. Currently, the only way to get the latest version of Windows 10 Mobile is to get either the Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL.
Still running ye'olde Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 on your PC? Well, Microsoft wants to change that. It will tolerate your disobedience, but it will gently nudge you into installing Windows 10 — and by gently, we mean tirelessly and constantly. On Thursday, the company announced a number of changes to the way upgrading to Windows 10 works. Furthermore, Windows 10 will "soon" become an "Optional Update" in Windows Update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. Finally, Microsoft is making some changes for users running non-Genuine (pirated) versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
If you thought using Windows 10 kept you safe from Internet Explorer's seemingly endless array of bugs, you were wrong. On Tuesday, Microsoft issued a patch for a number of critical Internet Explorer security flaws, which affect every version of Windows from Vista to Windows 10. One of the vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer versions 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 (the last one is the one installed in both Windows 10 for 32-bit and 64-bit systems), allowed an attacker to execute remote code on the victim's computer by luring them onto a specially crafted web site using Internet Explorer. Microsoft's new browser Edge is not affected by these security flaws. Tuesday's fix changes how Internet Explorer handles objects in memory and adds additional permission validations to the browser.
