Cox failure to recognize version 9 or higher of Adobe Flash Player on Windows 10

I have completed every on-line test available and confirmed that I have at least version 13 embedded into my Windows 10, yet I continue to receive a 'Cox pop-up' that says I need "version 9 or newer to communicate with Cox Enhanced email". 

Have other users had this problem?  I have been trying for over two weeks to find a solution and have not.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Lou

    Hi LouJ8,

    Do you have another browser installed on your computer that you can try with?

    We are having the same problem and error message on all of our computers that got the last Microsoft update. We have tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling latest version. We have tried Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. Nothing allows us to view our business email, except the one computer in our office that has not updated yet. Please do not suggest rolling back the update. The updates are crucial to staying ahead of the Ransomware schemes.

    Yes, we spoke with Cox Business Support more than a week ago. They were unable to help. They said its an Adobe Flash problem, not a Cox problem. 

    On a related note, yesterday, 7/11/2017, there were Windows 10 updates that included Flash Player. It did not solve the problem.

    I was able to get Cox Business Email to view in Google Chrome.

    Chrome uses it's own built-in version of Flash. That being the case I suspect there's something wrong with either the Flash installation or perhaps some compatibility issue with the latest Windows updates. Using Chrome or setting up an email client may be an effective workaround.
