Outlook signature no longer able to be edited

I currently have several signature saved and they still show up as an option to use. However, if I go to edit any of them, one one comes up as an option to edit. The other signatures that I can use no longer are in the list. I would usually have about 20+ to choose from and edit. It is only showing my default signature

    Has anyone found a way to edit it from this though??????

    I agree!! Sure, I can now find my signatures, but I can NOT edit them! So while this was sorta helpful, it really didn't correct the issue at hand.

    Hi, Jennifer and Shannon--

    I found that technically they are editable, but instead of being able to click "Save," I have to just hit "OK" and then it saves that one signature, and then I have to reopen the box to do the next signature.

    However, I saw Lou C's post, which got to the heart of the problem. A recent Windows update moved the signatures off of the local drive and onto the cloud. I followed his link about disabling this "roaming" feature, specifically "Download and run a REG file to quickly update Windows registry," and now everything looks exactly like it used to!

    Hope this helps! If it does, thank Lou for figuring it out. :)

    Hello MelSal_CBUS,

     

    Thank you for choosing the Microsoft Community! We are happy to help you.

    Based on your description I understand you cannot find your email signatures when you want to edit them, but they can be found in the new message window. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Kindly sign in to Outlook on the web and check if you can see these signatures. Also check in Outlook signatures' location if you can see all of them C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures.

    If the issue persists kindly create a new Outlook profile Create an Outlook profile - Microsoft Support

    We look forward to hearing from you; Please understand that our initial reply may not always immediately resolve the issue. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for your cooperation.  

     

    Sincerely,

    Simbarashe | Microsoft Community Moderator

    We solved this issue (which came about after a recent update) by disabling roaming signatures (whereby signatures are now saved in mailbox settings in the cloud and not locally), refer to the following link on how-to-do:

    I am able to edit mine. Once I make the edit and click outside the box it asks if I want to save me edit. I click yes and it does save it
