Run rule now is grayed out
My rules in Outlook are grayed out again. The part of manual execution. And this status has been remained for at least 3 days. I encountered this circumstance before like few months ago and here we go again.
My account is personal account (Outlook.com).
When I use Microsoft Outlook for Mac, Version 16.101 (25091314), to see my rules and wanna execute one of the rules, it's greyed out, a.k.a, cannot be executed.
When I open a browser, say Edge, (Version 140.0.3485.66 (Official build) (arm64)), the same status as well.
My findings so far:
- All of rules that will categorize email cannot be executed manually now.
- Rules that will delete emails can be executed manually.
- It's manual execution that won't work. Coming emails will still be categorized by the rules automatically.
Any clue how to solve this? Or somewhere is wrong internally in the system so far?

Hi,
same issue for us (multiple users) - with Edge on Windows 11.
As soon as a category is involved in the rule the option "Run Rule Now" is greyed out.
Also deleting all rules and creating one new as a test, didn't change anything - still greyed out.Exact same issue - when categories are involved the "Run Rule Now" is greyed out.
This is using Edge on Windows 11.
Also after deleting all rules and creating one new as test, the option is still greyed out and not available.I've also been experiencing the same issue since a few days..
I am having the same problem. I used to be able to do this and now I cant
