What version is it, Andre? Last time I installed a beta. It is 11.15. I can't find anything different after I've installed a new version.
It seems that W8 RP itself doesn't update flash player any more. I'll have to download and install it manually from now on.
Fix the insecure Windows 8 Flash version

Very interesting and helpful topic!
I have too installed IE10 and Maxthon. I do like Maxthon by the way too...It is a very good browser.
To sum up:
I use Maxthon as default browser with the bundled flash player of IE10 installed on the System. I performed the updates through Microsoft Update too. The flash content seems to run fine. Is it because Maxthon is in IE mode or does Maxthon manage to play the flash content using the pre-installed (and updated) flash player (I must say though that Java detected Maxthon as "Chrome", while in Java homepage)? If I uninstall the pre-installed Flash Player and install the one from Adobe's site will it work with both browsers? Will there be a conflict if I install manually the newest Flash Player without uninstalling the pre-installed (IE10) first?
A couple of days ago (I think after aupdating the Flash Player through Microsoft updates) a strange thing happened. There was no sound in Windows although the Drivers and Devices were OK. No Windows sounds, couldn't play any music files with media player, youtube videos played without sound. I don't know if that was a Flash Player related issue, but after a system restore everything is fine now. At this point I must say that in the first place, when I first Installed Windows 8 RTM I didn't know that IE comes bundled with explorer so I downloaden and installed the latest flash player version too. After performing the system restore I didn't install any flash player, just use the bundled one, and update through windows updates.

Today, Windows Update installed flash player 11.3.375.10 on my computer! It's always installing the old version while Firefox uses a newer one.

Tsampikos,
Flash Player is stored in this folder, for both IE and non IE browsers:
Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
You can copy the whole folder to a safe place and then try installing the newer version of flash player as you wish. I get the setup from here if I want to install it manually:
http://www.filehippo...flashplayer_ie/
I have to do some changes as I said in Post #18 on this thread so that the new flash can work fine for me. Andre used to post a link to check the flash version but he deleted for some unknown reason! I'll post it here again:

You can go there to see whether your IE is using the newest flash player or not.
