Still waiting here. Flash control panel reports 11.2.202.228, and all along I've been configured for "Install updates automatically." My browsers have been closed for a considerable amount of time, too. I see in Task Scheduler that the Flash task is dutifully running every hour, so I'm not sure what's up.

Hmmm, I see that it's been running every hour since I installed the original 11.2, on Apr 4.  So, based on that last link above, what does that mean, that it's not seeing an Internet connection?  It most certainly has one, and I see in the details of the task events that it returns an error code of 0, which is positive (none of the task details show any hint of a problem). The service is on Manual, which I believe is also normal.

I am using Win8 Consumer Preview. Could that be it?  I'm not using 3rd-party AV or firewall. Is Adobe supposed to automatically create an exception rule in the Windows Firewall, or does it just work over port 80?  I looked through the Outbound Rules and don't see anything for Adobe.

Hey, me too, but I never did run it manually. By the dates on the files, they were downloaded midday Sunday.

I should emphasize that I didn't do anything differently this weekend than I had the preceding week. No reboots, and I've been closing browsers out every night. I think only Adobe will be able to explain this one.

BTW, the task continues to fire every hour in Task Scheduler. As I understand it, it's only supposed to be every 24 hours....

Edit: I checked another machine, Win7, and its Flash item in Task Scheduler runs hourly, too. Looking at the task more closely, it's a daily task that's set to "repeat task every 1 hour for a duration of 1 day" -- so it's doing exactly what it's set to do. But why set it this way, Adobe?

Good point, Dent!

Anyway, I posted a feature suggestion in the other thread:

https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3211239

That's too bad. I checked out the comments from the above feature suggestion and found this in the comments, from July:

"we consider this is a enhancement or feature request. currently we have same discuss internal Adobe but I cant tell how and when will this feature be changed."

Adobe, is there any update on this? Maybe 11.6?

Yes, but the feature suggestion (see above), and the comment there in July from Adobe regarding it, was about creating an option for an actual automatic install, not just a periodic one. I really don't know of anyone interested in reading about and considering new Adobe Flash features.

Edit:

I also want to echo what Dent mentioned: the security update for 11.4 is 11.5. It's not as if 11.4 users get updated silently to a fixed version of 11.4, with the 11.5 prompt happening some other time, making this prompting issue somewhat less of a problem. Think of all the normal users out there declining the 11.5 update for any number of reasons. 30 days pass....

What I just added to the above report:

When I booted a Windows machine today with the latest 11.6 on it, only to see a prompt to update Flash (to 11.7) -- and this machine is set for fully automatic Flash updates -- I was reminded of this report.

Is anything due to change? A lot of us still never want our users to be prompted, ESPECIALLY when your installers often bundle things like Mcafee and Google Drive.
