This is how you can find out if your computer already has the patch installed that uninstalls Flash from Windows 10
Table of contents:
A few days ago we saw how Microsoft launched an update that eliminated Flash from computers. A forced update that is being deployed and that removes Flash installations, but beware, not those that users have done manually.
After starting a process in which the update arrived manually and not mandatory, now doubts may appear. Has the update been downloaded and I didn't realize it? It is possible to check the recent updates on our computer and it is the way to check if we already have the latest patch from Microsoft.
Do we have the patch installed?
We already know that the update that erases all traces of Flash on the PC comes through the patch with the number KB4577586. And these are the steps to follow if we want to check if it is installed on our PC or not.
"The first step is to access Windows Update within the Settings menu. We can access it by pressing the Windows + S key combination, typing Update>"
Once inside, we will see different options. And next to the possibility of having a pending update, we must scroll down and look for the section See update history."
"Click on this section and a window opens that shows the history with the latest updates loaded on our computer. A row of data among which we must look for a line with the text Other updates and within it we must look for the label KB4577586."
If it appears, it means that yes, we already have the latest patch from Microsoft. If we have Windows updates activated, it is possible that we can already have this patch. If it does not appear, it means that it has not yet reached your computer.
