Flash Player stopped working (Updating doesn't help)
So today flash stopped working. It said it wasn't up-to-date, but even when I updated it still happens, and it still shows up as not up-to-date. It worked just fine earlier today.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

The only uninstaller I see on that page is just called "Uninstaller". I don't see anything that says plugin. By the way, I restarted my laptop and now flash works fine. Should I still do what you said?

Nevermind, I already uninstalled and installed it again.
