Hi there!
Under Windows XP or 7 (any variety) I installed FP without issue and normal functionality.
However, when a new version of FP is released from Adobe, I am not notified even though that radio button is selected,
both in the installer and confirmed selected in the Control Panel.
I have tried using the Adobe FP uninstaller on all systems and cleanly re-installed with the same result.
This problem is not just limited to FP, but AIR and Shockwave, as well.
BTW - Have 3 Win XP (32-bit) boxes and 3 Win 7 (64-bit) boxes - all with the same issues. Different vendors.
Not *once* have I received an update notification anywhere in Windows.
I need to check every week manually, or use a utility to advise me if the version is old. It's a real pain!
What might be the issue here?
Does the browser have something to do with it?
I mainly use IE and FF.
TIA,
Compumind

That is strange; I have Adobe Flash Player Updater in my Scheduled Tasks (Windows XP). I will check Windows 7 tomorrow.
I suggest that you perform a clean install (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315) to see if it fixes the problem.

Am I the only one with this problem?

It may be a few days after an update is released until that update is *pushed* via the updater.
To avoid the problem, just update manually on the day when an update is released.

Hi. Flash/Shockwave/Air never notify me and/or update on their own - ever on XP or 7.
Is there a better way to check when an update is released for Flash/Shockwave/Air? Seriously.
Like I said, am I the only one?
