How to solve "Failed to update Unity Web Player" error?
How did this happen?
I played unity games for about a year. Then I tried one game (don’t remember which) and this error appeared. So I did what was asked – re-installed web player manually. Now all games throw this error.
What I did to solve issue?
Browsers I tried:
Google Chrome 40.0.2214.93 (Official Build) m
Firefox 29.0.1
Internet Explorer 11.0.9600
Actions I have performed:
Cleaned all browser's chache
Reinstaled Web Player (WP) with antivirus program disabled
Reinstaled WP with administrator rights
Uninstalled WP. Restarted machine. Ran CCcleaner. Reinstalled WP
Nothing helped.
What I found so far?
All threads about this issue provide clear answers. There were some about disabling add-ons, but the fact that the issue appears in all 3 browsers negates that possibility.

Issue solved by it self.
No specific action from my side where taken but at some point all games started to work on all 3 browsers.
You have no idea what you did? I am running into this now and don't know how to get past it. I have tried everything I know even rebooting my $$anonymous$$ac (which I rarely do). Currently downloading 5.1 and hoping it's a build/player mismatch but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
