Windows 10 Flash crash

 

I bought a Lenovo Flex2 laptop with Windows 8 last year. I upgraded the OS to Windows 10 out of curiosity a few months ago. Ever since I had been having problems with anything that to do with Adobe Flash. Web pages on all browsers installed on my laptop (IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome) crashed. Some of the  games which use flash like candy crush, Microsoft card games also didn’t work.

Thinking that Flash is not playing nice with Windows 10 I used to update Flash player every time I had the issue. It used to happen every other week or so. I thought it could be something to do with my display driver and rolled back the driver update. Last couple of weeks it started happening every time flash was loaded. I started digging more and found this article. I realized my laptop has Realtek audio too and updated the driver to latest version. Voila! No more annoying Flash crash. Thank you Kazlok.

Growth and stagnancy

Thought this is deeply profound : Courtesy - The Minimalists

"Humans are happy if we are growing as individuals and if we are contributing beyond ourselves. Without growth, and without a deliberate effort to help others, we are just slaves to cultural expectations, ensnared by the trappings of money and power and status and perceived success."

As soon as we stop growing, making that deliberate effort we become stagnant. Often times trapped in our own perceptions, by our inability to let go.
