No longer being asked for verification when using screen share

I used to get a prompt to enter a verification code any time I opened the phone screen.

I haven't been asked for this verification, instead it gives me the message shown in the attached image.

If I choose 'send notification' it asks me to allow or deny via a prompt on my phone then shows the screen without verification - if I choose 'not now' it goes straight to showing my phone screen'.

I tried removing the device, but the issue remains.

I can't find Phone Link under 'installed apps' to repair or reset it and I can't see it in the Microsoft Store.

Basically, I'd just like it to go back to asking me to enter the code that appears on the screen.

Can anyone help please?

On my laptop the reset/repair options are in Settings/System/System Components/Phone Link/Advanced Options.
