I turned on the Corporate Overlords' Windows 10 managed laptop [1] to enter my time for today when a notice popped up about Adobe® Flash® being out of date and that I should uninstall it. At least, that's what I think it said—the text was a bit too small to read easily (and if I'm complaining about the text being too small it's **small**). So I click okay as a reflex, I'm asked to input my password (as most systems do today) and then a second later, I get this small popup window:
You must have administrative privileges to install Adobe® Flash® Player. Please log on with administrative privileges and try again.
Oh, that's right—managed laptop. Ah well. I click the only button on the popup window, only to have another small popup window:
You must have administrative privileges to install Adobe® Flash® Player. Please log on with administrative privileges and try again.
Yeah, I don't have administrative rights. And even if I did, I didn't even have a chance to enter my administrative rights. I click the only button on the popup window only to have another small popup window:
You must have administrative privileges to install Adobe® Flash® Player. Please log on with administrative privileges and try again.
Sigh.
I can see where this isn't going.
Time to reboot the computer.
I just love this managed laptop.
