Edge Flashplayer only allows single usage

Question

After updating to Windows 10 build 1809 I can only opt to use Flashplayer once, whereas before I could also opt for 'allow all time'. Please see the screen print below:

When I click on the jigsaw piece it still only gives the 'allow once' option.

When I click on website identification I get the following information:

I cannot access the Flash Player version as it is embedded in Windows 10

My Windows 10 version is 1809 and my browser is Edge version 44.17763.1.0.

I have the same problem on my wife's machine which is also Windows 10 build 1809.

Could anyone please advise if there is a way to allow Flashplayer at all times rather than having to allow once every time?

I believe this is part of Microsoft's plan to make it more and more of a nuisance to use Flash. Chrome has done this for a while now. The idea is that you complain to the people making the web site and encourage them to find an alternative to Flash.

This is a change in Edge and nothing to do with Flash Player / Adobe.

See https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/ for more information on Microsoft's Flash roadmap for both Edge and IE
