Just download the flash update for win8 and install it manually. should fix the issue where Windows updates doesnt actually updates flash. Works like a charm.

It wasn't when it was posted. They finally went from 11.3 to 11.6 less than a week ago.

Why is it that some websites that require Flash player dont work (like miniclip) on modern version of IE10 and others do (like youtube, vimeo etc)?

Because that version only enables the plugin for specific sites.

Yeah the metro version of IE10 uses a white list and allows specific sites to use flash while to blocks the ones not in the list. There is a tool you can get that let's you add sites to the white list if you want or there is a way to do it manually.
