How do I change LET ADOBE UPDATE PLAYER to LET ME CHOOSE WHEN TO UPDATE

[mohair3]

I accidentally hit the wrong button after 100 updates (why do they have to ask everytime there is a new update)  , so now I need to fix it back so I can control when it updates.  Please does anyone know how to change it back?

You have to be in an Administrator account not a Standard account.

Click on Start, then click on Control Panel, (be sure View is set to Large Icon), click on the Flash Player icon. That will bring up the Flash Player control panel.

Click on the Updates tab. Now you can set the method of allowing updates.

Thanks so much!  I couldn't find the Advanced settings!

Hi,

You can change the update option in the Settings Manager, as follows:

• Windows: Launch Control Panel > Select 'Flash Player' item >
  • For Flash Player 16 or older, navigate to the 'Advanced' tab, click 'Change Update Settings' and then select the desired update option
  • For Flash Player 17, navigate to the 'Updates' tab, click 'Change Update Settings' and then select the desired update option

• Mac: Launch System Preferences > Select 'Flash Player item >
  • For Flash Player 16 or older, navigate to the 'Advanced' and select the desired update option
  • For Flash Player 17, navigate to the 'Updates' tab and select the desired update option

Thank you Maria!  Very detailed answer!  I had found out I needed the Advanced Settings and couldn't figure out where they were!  Thanks!
