Adobe Flash Playe will not run in Windows 8.1

I am unable to get Flash Player to run in Windows 8.1. I have gone to Adobe's website and used their Uninstaller and than reinstalled FP. In IE under "Manage add-ons" it shows a "Shockwave Flash Object". Also Active X Filtering is not on. In Firefox under Add-ons it shows "Shockwave Flash". Any ideas why I can not get FP to run?

windows 8 / 8.1 has flash player (active-x) built-in

Firefox uses flash player plugin

I understate that part, but do you have any ideas why FP won't run.

Have you installed it---

Could you be more descriptive of what you expect to happen?

Like: I went to YouTube, and nothing happens with Flash Player.

Yeah.. That Too..

IE say's FP is installed. FireFox say's it's installed. However, every time ANYTHING that needs FP will not load. All I get is "Flash Player has crashed. Refresh Page" or words real close to that. Be good or bad I use Incredimail which I can not use because of FP crashing/not loading every time. I can not watch any video on most news sources because FP will not load/run. Not to be a smart ass but what I expect is FP to WORK! Really guys, I need to figure out why FP will not run on my machine. ANY help with this will be greatly appreciated!!!

One method of troubleshooting a browser is to run it in safe-mode or disable all add-on's except for the Flash plug-in.

Another method is to create a new profile for the browser and slowly add the add-on's.

These will determine if there are conflicts.

Then, there is the hardware driver interface. Perhaps a setting was ticked or unticked. And the browser is encountering antagonism. There is a setting within the browser that uses hardware acceleration. I've read that toggling that setting might resolve the one problem (and create new ones!)

I tried running in the safe mode but FP still would non run. I'll try turning off the add-ons see what happens. Thanks for your reply!

sfc /scannow

When run from command prompt(admin)
Will scan for corrupt windows files - should fix FP in IE
