Windows 10: Can't customize/format signatures in the Windows 10 Mail App.

Recently had to reinstall the Mail app due to constant sync issues, and noticed that there were no longer options for fonts and images in a signature, just a plain text box. I reinstalled the app multiple times through "Add or remove programs" along with Powershell and the issue persists.


Info if you need it:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Windows 10 Mail Signature formatting gone

Until an hour or so ago, I had formatting options on a toolbar within Windows 10 Mail > Settings > Signature and my saved signatures showed the appropriate font, color, links, and logo. If I paste in my formatted signature from elsewhere, it is simply plain
text.

Within the Windows 10 apps list, I needed to reset my Mail/Calendar app(s) as a troubleshooting step for something else. Selections I had previously had to be redone, which I expected. For the signature, however, I cannot redo them because it no longer
has the same features.

I can see from various searches that in the Mail app's past, it only supported plain-text signatures, so I imagine this unexpectedly set me back to some earlier version of the app and I actually lost current functionality.

How can I fix this and get back to the same features my version of Windows 10 Mail had when I first set it up?
