Your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
  2. Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

  • (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
  • (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

Note that this will remove all installed Flash players.

Ok, I used "about:plugins" and I found the file of the Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0. Now what? I want to uninstall that file without uninstall all Flash Players in my PC. :(

You can delete this file via File Explorer and only leave the latest Flash player file (NPSWF32_##_X_X_XXX.dll) in that folder.

You can also check the Windows registry.
