For one, if you have the Flash component installed on Microsoft Edge, that remains after the update. However, the update didn't erase every strain of Flash.

Flash has proven itself to be a serious headache for a lot of people, and I think it's way past time for Mac. As we reported before, Microsoft is slowly pulling the plug on Flash from Windows 10 via Windows Update. Adobe's Flash has gotten a lot of bad press for security problems, and rightfully so.
