Published file not working on in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I have the updated version of Storyline on my system. When I publish the files, it shows only the HTML 5 version to publish the file.
After publishing the files, the courses do not play on Internet Explorer. It shows the Flash icon on the screen (please see the screenshot below) though no Flash content is used in the courses. However, the courses are playing fine on the Chrome browser.
So, could you please suggest me any tips so that I can run my courses on Internet Explorer. Or, is there any settings update that I need to make to run the courses on Internet Explorer.

Hi, Amit,
You might be experiencing this issue because Flash is still enabled on Internet Explorer. If you already have Internet Explorer 11, you may try disabling Flash entirely on Internet Explorer and see if your courses play normally. This can also happen when there's Flash content in your course that you don't realize. (e.g., a web object or an Engage interaction from an old import)
To disable the built-in Flash plug-in for Internet Explorer on modern versions of Windows, open Internet Explorer, click the gear menu, and select “Manage add-ons.” Click the Show box and select “All add-ons.” Locate “Shockwave Flash Object” under “Microsoft Windows Third Party Application Component,” select it, and click the Disable button.
I hope this helps. Let me know what you think.
Hi Christian,
Thank you for replying me on my issue. I want you to know that i have tried what you explained me to do. I did disabled my flash add on from Internet Explorer, but the course is still not working.
Can you please contact me directly through any means of communication(ZOOM or Teams), so that we can resolve the issue.
I literally appreciate your help.
Regards,

I am also having this issue. I tried to disable Flash as described but now, when launching the course, I just get a blank screen. Has a solution been found?
