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:

  1. Google Chrome 40.0.2214.93 (Official Build) m
  2. Firefox 29.0.1
  3. Internet Explorer 11.0.9600

Actions I have performed:

  1. Cleaned all browser’s chache
  2. Reinstaled Web Player (WP) with antivirus program disabled
  3. Reinstaled WP with administrator rights
  4. 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.
