Issue:
When multiple people share a Microsoft 365 email account, their email signatures can get mixed up. This happens because Outlook automatically syncs signatures across computers.
Solution:
Turn off Outlook's signature sync feature. This lets each person keep their own signature when using a shared email account.
Option 1: Using PowerShell (Recommended)
Follow these steps to turn off signature sync for your computer:
Step 1: Open PowerShell
- Press Start
- Type "PowerShell" and click to open it
Step 2: Run the Commands
Copy and paste these commands:
New-Item -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup" -Force
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup" -Name "DisableRoamingSignaturesTemporaryToggle" -Type DWORD -Value 1
Step 3: Restart Outlook
- Close and reopen Outlook for the changes to work
Option 2: Using Registry Editor
- Press Start, type "regedit", and open Registry Editor
- Copy this path:
And paste it into the address bar:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup\
