Which I can partially agree with from a security perspective. It looks like Microsoft either overlooked this for RTM, or made a decision to leave Flash out for a serverĬlass OS. I've found some various internet posts about folks successfully enabling Flash on 2016, but those were Technical Preview versions not the RTM version. So in the case of the systems I am working on, all with GUI, DesktopExperience is already installed / enabled. While what you found does work for Win 20R2, it hasn't been applicable for 2016 in my experience.įor 2016 the DesktopExperience feature is installed as a necessity, usually at installation time, to enable the GUI. But I do agree with you that it is often not worth the effort nor the implications for security. Unfortunately the decision to run a server class OS as a desktop is rooted in customer requirements and not negotiable, well at least at my level.
