A Windows 10 update, in July 2021, has removed Adobe Flash Player from my Packard Bell device (EasyNote TJ65) because the Flash Player software is no longer supported by Adobe. However, I now get a Packard Bell pop-up message telling me to update to the latest version of Flash Player ... every day ... every time I have been inactive on my laptop for a short while.
How do I stop this Packard Bell pop up message from repeatedly appearing, please?

    You can check if the abobe flash program is installed. If it exists, uninstall it.
    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!

    The Adobe Flash Player program no longer exists on my device as Microsoft has removed it (uninstalled it) with their recent Windows 10 update.  My question is : How do I stop the Packard Bell message, telling me to install the latest version of Flash Player, from repeatedly appearing, please?

    When my laptop has been inactive for a while, a full grey screen with a central message box appears.  The actual message reads: "Please download the latest version of Flash Player", with an "OK" button underneath it.  I need to to click "OK" in order to clear the grey screen and message box to reveal the desktop or open windows beneath.

    My ACER desktop computer has had the same problem. An ACER banner pops up every 15 seconds after not activity and states; "Please download the latest version of Flash Player". Flash Player is no longer supported by Adobe and has been removed from my machine, but the notification has continued.

    After 2 years of this annoying notification, I have removed it. Go to: C:\Program Files (86)\ACER\Screen Saver\Acer.scr and DELETE the file. ALSO....

    C:\Program Files (86)\ACER\Screen Saver\Acer.png and DELETE the file.

    Substitute the manufacturer's name of your computer in place of "ACER", if you have another brand.

    This should stop the annoyance.
