Conflict between flash player &windows 8.1

[Geraldine1269]

I downloaded windows 8.1.  When trying to play videos, I always receive the message to update adobe flash player.  When I try to update response is that it is already part of windows 8.1.  How can I fix this?

Flash Player for Windows 8 and 8.1 IS embedded by Microsoft. It updates through Windows Update ONLY.
A lot of websites have trouble recognizing IE11(part of Win 8.1) and the Plugins in it. The recommneded workaround is to enable Compatibility View for those websites until Microsoft releases an update to fix it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
