We have seen this behaviour aswell in the Click-to-Run version of Outlook.

Key Path: Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup\
Value Name: DisableRoamingSignaturesTemporaryToggle
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data:1

Great Post!

Now i can see and edit all the signatures in my Outlook Desktop App, and no selection of email vs Signatures on this Device.

Changing the "Store my Outlook Settings in the cloud" checkbox made no difference for me.
