I've always heard that "this update cannot be uninstalled", but thought that was just some marker that appeared in the list of installed updates. But no, it'll somehow prevent reinstallation—does anyone know how?
That's boring. Apparently (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-re...) a 32-bit version of Flash Player is bundled with Windows 10, and this removes it. It doesn't actually uninstall Flash Player that you've downloaded from Adobe (i.e. the version that you would actually use) or prevent you from installing it, and of course it doesn't remove the Flash Player built into Chrome.
I have no opinion about the Flash removal update, having read the article. I am, however, grumpy about a technology behemoth using whatever trash web framework pollutes browser history and makes my back button my enemy.
I’m used to random websites making me swipe back a couple of times and it’s annoying. But when I finally gave up and just used the back menu (which most phone users probably don’t even know how to access), I had a new history entry for each attempt at navigating back.
I doubt MS is intentionally trying to keep readers stuck on their site. But they’re certainly doing it anyway.
