However, since it launched, Windows Edge went through some changes related to how it treats Flash content. First, starting with Windows 10 build 15002, Microsoft Edge started blocked untrusted Flash content by default (or until the users choose to play it). This was indeed a measure that would provide better security and performance while leaving the choice to end user. You had the option to allow Adobe Flash to run just once on a particular site or indefinitely.
Then with Windows 10 build 15042, the Updated Click-to-Run experience dialog was added in the URL bar in order to make it obvious when the Flash content is being blocked. Now if you click on the puzzle icon you can allow Flash to run just this time or every time you return to the same web page.
But what do you do if you clicked the Always allow button only to realize that the content isn’t as safe as you first thought? Or the other way around? Fortunately, there are a couple of ways that will allow you to disable or enable Flash content on Microsoft Edge. Below you have two different methods that will allow you to change the default behavior on how Flash content gets treated. Please follow any method that seems more convenable to you.
