Recently released update KB4577586 for Windows 10 which removes Adobe Flash Player activex. After applying this update, when starting PC Equalizer, a message appears stating that Adobe Flash Player cannot be detected (see screenshot). But I can't install Adobe Flash Player activex back.
Hi everyone
I know you've been waiting for an update for a long time, specially after the annoying " Adobe Flash Player activeX" message, Actually I've been working on a new version for about 4 months, and I'm about to finish it soon, so be patient, it worth it.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I mean, there is a reason why every browser vendor has removed support for Flash, and Microsoft removed it from the OS. Adobe officially ended support for it at the end of 2020. It has a fantastically bad security record, rivaled only by Java. If the app works without it, why use it?

strangely i reinstalled flash as you explained, then removed it cause i changed my mind about security, and i dont have the message of pc equalizer now even with flash ininstalled...
of course i removed all flash with windows uninstaller, flash remove tool, windows reupdate and folders delete.

Thanks for your interest, I've been working on a new version for about 4

It will be released through the official website https://pcequalizer.com,
but some bugs need to be fixed first.
You have to run the flash player file in compatibility mode for Windows 7
not 8 or 10. Try this and let me know if it works.
The fix doesn't work for me, when trying to install the Flash Player from
the Link you provided I just get the error message that this exe is only
for Windows 7 and older versions. When trying to run it in the compatibilty
mode for Windows 8 (Windows 10 isn't available) I get the same error
message. Same when I let the box unchecked. And the Equalizer doesn't work.
When is the new version coming out which fixes this bug?

same.
the apps seems to work but this message at each boot is annoying.
is there a way to reinstall Adobe Flash Player activex?
Same here. Seems to work but get the message at each boot...
Anything to fix this easily?
Yep, mine is asking for Flash Player activex too. Clicking continue runs the process but I can't see the UI - so can't change profiles.
For my part, pass the message window, everything is there (tray icon + GUI).

Loving the PC Equalizer GUI, super excited for the update!
FIX for Missing Adobe Flash ActiveX Control:
this fix allows you to run Flash in Internet Explorer as well as in alot of desktop apps that embed the ActiveX control.
1- download this file:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000id_/https://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ax.exe
2- right click on downloaded file, Properties -> Compatibility -> Compatibility mode
check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows 7" and Apply .
3- Now install and done.
Still working on the new version, also working on a web page www.pcequalizer.com.
