Hi @shack, If a website isn’t working, you might need to change your settings to allow Flash. 1. To the left of the web address, click Lock or Info . 2. At the bottom, click Site Settings. 3. In the new tab, to the right of “Flash,” click the Down arrow Allow. 4. Go back to the site and reload the page. ---

Am I getting automated messages? Are you guys reading the comments? I already allowed Flash on the website but I cannot update Flash because it’s not in brave://components. How do I fix that? I already have Flash but it needs to be updated and need it to show up in brave://components ---

Just gonna hop in this thread since I’m having the same problem as @shack. Flash player isn’t showing up in components and I’ve tried everything in the link @steeven provided and nothing worked. ---

Hi Shack, what OS and Brave version are you running? ---

Hey @shack, After some fiddling around I think I got a work around. If you have Chrome go to “C:\Users[profile]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data” and find the file PepperFlash and paste it into “C:\Users[profile]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data” It still doesn’t show up in components but it seems to get the damn thing to work. Playing a few games on newgrounds and I don’t seem to have any problems aside for a few games that I’m not even sure are running off flash, been a while since I visited the site. Hopefully this helps. ---

1. What site is telling you to update — can we get a link/screen shot? 2. Flash may need to be run before it appears in `brave://components` 3. Flash is run on a per site, per session basis and it may not need to update at all ---
