Several hours ago, I installed Win8.1 Pro on an old Dell laptop and installed the KB5005627 Sep. 2021 security-only update, rebooted and guess what Jody, the Flash.ocx, FlashUtil_Activex.dll & FlashUtil_Activex.exe files from the Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ folder
remained intact -
they were not removed.
Well that's good to know erpster4. Mind you, I won't take a chance installing it for now
well fortune favors the brave like me, so I took that chance with KB5005627 and it paid off with
aces - the adobe flash activex files remain untouched
and I'm very confident beyond any reasonable doubt that the KB5005607 Sep. 2021 security-only update for Win8 / Server 2012 will also produce the same result
heck, I may even conduct further tests and install Win8.0 on another machine and install KB5005607 to see if the flash files will not get removed
