Windows 10: Latest Windows 10 upgrade blocking Adobe Flash Player

Hi,

I just upgraded my Dell desktop XPS 8900 to Windows 10 - ver. 1903 (OS Build 18362.535). I use MS Edge as my browser. My only problem is that now I can't access Adobe Flash Player for a game I like to play on Facebook. The game says that AFP is not enabled even though it is set to "on" in my browser settings. If I go to AFP's Help page, it says my Flash Player is disabled as well. I can click on a "missing flash content" icon in the Adobe address bar (looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece) and click on an "Allow Once" option (only option available), and the test animation does then work (once). That "missing flash" icon does not appear on my Facebook game page. How can I get my AFP to be always on so I can play this game on Facebook like I could before the upgrade? Thanks.

:)
