Windows 8.1 Flash only working for administrators

[xcvtop]

Hi just deployed windows 8.1 at our school and as flash is deployed via windows update and was working fine when logged on as admin creating the 4 images for the different models of computers we have.

 

Now for whatever reason when a user is logged in who doesn't have administrator rights flash doesn't work at all and whatever site they are on tells the user to install flash.

 

At first I thought it was a problem with EducationCity as that is where the teachers were seeing this message but after further investigation it seems as it is any site that plays Flash has the same problem. When I check to see if the Flash add-on is installed and enabled on the browser it is.

 

Has anyone come across this problem? does anyone know a fix we can push out via group policy?

 

Also I have tried disabling everything that might be blocking ActiveX on sites (to the point where ie told the user when they opened up IE11 that settings were very unsafe but it still didn't work.

I had this issue with Windows 7, for me it was a particular version of flash. I moved to a slightly later version and the issue was solved.
