Screen goes blank with weird box in the middle.

I keep getting this screen that appears randomly. Any ideas?

You are trying to start something that depends on Flash Player.

Flash Player is dead (not coming back) as of January 2021.

For example, if you have an old HP printer that depends on the unsupported Solution Center, that startup menu for that software no longer opens.

HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan

Flash Player is permanently disabled as of 12-Jan-2021

The HP Solution center software is based on Flash:

Any application or software that depended on Flash will have the same type of problem when you try to start that software.
