Microsoft Edge keeps telling me 'allow this app to make changes to your device'

Copper Contributor

When opening the Settings page on Microsoft Edge, a Prompt comes up every time and says 'allow this app to make changes to your device' and when i press allow it keeps showing me it. Even when going to check for updates page on Edge it does the same thing and then the update fails. I now have to use Microsoft Edge on a different Channel (Canary) if I want to continue using Edge as normal to receive browser updates.
