Given Microsoft’s record with this feature so far, few would bet that they will achieve this date.Īs I explained in my original May 2020 post, the current implementation of Outlook signatures in the desktop client makes them more difficult to manipulate than the OWA equivalent, which require a simple update using the Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration cmdlet. The latest information in Microsoft 365 roadmap item 60371 points to general availability in July 2022.
and of course get used to manually install quite some drivers after the OS installation, as several Dell hardware drivers will not be autoloaded from Microsoft servers.First announced in May 2020, Microsoft’s efforts to deliver Outlook roaming signatures in the click-to-run version of Outlook desktop (part of Microsoft 365 apps for enterprise) have stalled several times since. maybe do a quick dry run only overwriting the Dell OS partition, install Office and check if the Outlook bug is fixed, before saying good by to all Dell default partitions (because s long as the Dell rescue partition is there, you can easily go back to a
probably make a screenshot of your device manager with all devices expanded before reinstallation (saves time trying to find the correct driver, as Dell tends to not list all drivers on their web site)
check first, if you need a RAID disk driver to successfully start the installation (then also store the driver in an extra folder on the thumb drive used for Windows installation)
the default Windows installer will autodetect the (Dell-BIOS-stored) Win license key, no license key has to be entered. Note before reinstalling (this is more like for the non-IT-gifted people that might stumble into this thread): I recommend the later, because I am pretty sure the Dell-provided recovery partition will recreate an OS partition containing that bug. Installer create a new partition layout including an OEM-stuff-free default recovery partition. You can either do so, while keeping the original Dell partition layout with its default three rescue partitions (then just format and recreate the single OS partition), or delete all Dell-created partitions and reinstall Windows from scratch and let the Windows I then did a clean OS installation with my own USB thumb drive (installation media created with the standard Media Creation Tool from Microsoft - Win10 1709).Īnd things got fixed! (Of course everything had to be reinstalled, wasting hours, that's the sad part of the story) Tried all the above, tried some more stuff from other web pages - none would solve the issue. I just got the most recent 13" XPS notebook from Dell and had the same Outlook365 problem.
> Reinstall Windows with a non-Dell-customized installation disk of Windows10 1709! I might have a working solution - if it's a Dell computer, if it has 1709 Windows10 on it and if it currently runs on the Dell factory image of Win10: Oddly enough the system that works doesn't even have those registry keys listed. I've tried repairs and the registry updates that are widespread on Google to no avail. The signature button works on the system that arrived with 1703 originally, while it doesn't work on all three of the systems that arrived I installed Office on all four and any and all available updates for both Windows and Office. Prior to installing Office 2013 Standard on them, I brought the one system up to 1709įrom 1703. One arrived with 1703 installed and the other three had 1709 installed. I have 4 brand new Dell OptiPlex 3050 desktops. There is definitely a correlation between 1709 and the signature button not working.
I've tried also to installing outlook 2013 but I have the same issue. I've tried all the solutions with the registry but it's doesn't work.Īt the beginning, I think it's a office issue but now, I think it's a Windows 10 v1709 problem. Since january, the computer comes with 1709 Windows 10 version and we have the same problem with office 365 and office 2016 Home and Business.
