Resolución
Due to the nature of KB4577586 which causes the removal of Adobe Flash Player from target devices, this update will not be offered through the KACE Patch Catalog.
This decision has been made considering the catastrophic implications it could have if mistakenly deployed to devices where applications may need Adobe Flash Player to work properly.
If the update is installed to a system by mistake, Adobe Flash Player can only be recovered by resetting the device to an earlier system restore point, or reinstalling the operating system on the device. For further reference please see.
If this optional update needs to be deployed to a managed device, as a workaround, deployment can be done through a managed install or a script. For reference please see: How to Deploy a Microsoft Hotfix with Managed Install
Note: This Microsoft patch cannot be reverted and when applied, there is no rollback process. Removing the Flash component will cause any dependent applications to stop working, applying this patch must be made with extreme caution.
