How to block Win10 Flash to delete patches
Let me teach you how to block win10 flash.
Microsoft has announced earlier that it will not support Flash at all by the end of this year. Now, Microsoft is moving. Microsoft made a new Windows 10 patch KB4577586. The only effect of this patch is to completely delete Flash in the system. Note that once KB4577586 is installed, it cannot be uninstalled, and can only be restored by means of system restore . In other words, if you install the KB4577586 patch, then the system and Flash will be gone.
Microsoft released the KB4577586 patch to delete Flash, but it has not yet been pushed through Windows Update
However, Microsoft has not yet pushed KB4577586 through Windows Update. If users want to install it, they can only download it through Microsoft’s update catalog. Below is the detailed address.

If you want to completely remove Flash, you can install this patch. However, some people still have to use Flash. Now Microsoft has not pushed this patch. What if it will be pushed later? Can I just wait for Flash to be deleted forcibly? Today, I will share with you a method to block the push of Microsoft patches, in case Microsoft pushes Flash to delete patches in the future!
Here we need to use a tool from Microsoft called “Show or hide update”.
Show or hide update official download: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab
As the name suggests, this is a tool to hide patches. If you don’t want the system to receive a certain patch, you can hide it through it. Of course, if you want to re-accept this patch, you can also use it to re-enable acceptance.
The use of Show ro hide update is very simple, double-click to run it after downloading. In this interface, there is an “advanced” option, which only has an option of whether to automatically repair it, just keep the default.
Main interface
Next, this tool will let you choose to hide updates or redisplay hidden updates. Choose the first one here to hide the update. If you want to let Win10 push this update again, you can run the tool again and select the second option to redisplay the update.
Select “Hide updates”
After that, Show or hide update will list the update patches received by the current system but not yet installed. Select the push you don’t want, and then click Next. You will not receive this patch again.
Select the Windows Update push option you want to hide
After hiding, this update will no longer appear in the push
Of course, Microsoft has not yet pushed the KB4577586 patch to everyone, so it is impossible to block it with this tool. But to prevent micro-duplication, you can prepare this tool first, and when Microsoft really pushes a patch to delete Flash, you can use it to resist.
Flash is a technology that is out of date. From a purely technical point of view, there is indeed no need for Flash. However, different countries have different national conditions. There are still some domestic web tools that have not been upgraded and need to rely on Flash. If you really need Flash, try the above method.
