Due to flash support coming to an end in 2020, many web browsers are no longer using it. This is causing a lot of issues with many sites online. Including HomeStarRunner which uses a lot of flash animation.

Uninstall your current version of chrome.
-
Re-install an older version of chrome.
- Turn off updates for chrome.
Here is a list of older versions of chrome that I used to keep flash working. https://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php
I use the 2017-09-10 windows version.
- You're going to have to block Chrome from updating either in the browser or in the task manager.
- Find the plugin called 'Google Update' and click disable.
- Restart your browser for the changes to take effect.
- Every time you restart your computer and open chrome hit "NO" on allow Chrome to update.
- Sometimes Chrome won't open so you have to open the task manager end all processes for Chrome.
Not the best work around. But I have been able to draw on Sketchport using a tablet the last few months this way.
If you have any questions let me know.

I see Sean has given up on this project.
I've found that Chrome can be really persistent at trying to update.
Easy solution :
1- Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\ and find the folder "update".
Rename the folder: - Right click > Rename > from Update.bak to Update2.bak for example.
- Now launch Chrome: no more updates
