Adobe's Flash Player is not the same as a flash drive and the two items are
not related at all. So you have two problems here? I'm not sure what you
mean by having the flash drive (a USB thumb drive?) showing in Control
Panel as USB thumb drives normally show up as a drive under Computer and
not in Control Panel. So some clarification about this item would be in
order.

For Adobe's Flash Player, uninstall it from Control Panel>Programs &
Features. Then go to Adobe.com and download/install the latest version.
