Closed wowokaybye closed 6 years ago

wowokaybye commented 6 years ago

After running the script, there is no way to reinstall and re-enable Adobe Flash for Edge.

Use EnableAdobeFlash and read FAQ.

wowokaybye commented 6 years ago

I did, but EnableAdobeFlash didn't change anything. :/

Disassembler0 commented 6 years ago

I find that hard to believe because EnableAdobeFlash removes the 2 registry keys which DisableAdobeFlash sets. Make sure to run the EnableAdobeFlash tweak as admin and reboot the computer afterwards (the change is in HKLM hive, which usually takes effect only after reboot)

I think I'm not doing it right. Could you help me a second there? Where am I really supposed to put this command in?

Disassembler0 commented 6 years ago

That's not a command, that's a tweak name. You were supposed to either run the tweak as command line parameter or to create a preset with that tweak, both of which are described in advanced usage.

Easier way for you may be the following:

  1. Press Win+R (keyboard shortcut for Run... prompt).
  2. Type there regedit and press enter.
  3. Confirm UAC prompt.
  4. In the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
  5. In the right pane, delete value named DisableFlashInIE.
  6. In the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Addons.
  7. In the right pane, delete value named FlashPlayerEnabled.
  8. Close all windows and applications and reboot the computer.
