Why Does Outlook automatically log me in without my email address and password?

OK, that does help.  I didn't think of that. 

Is there a way to solve the real problem though?  Is there a setting that would not automatically log the user into the outlook account when they go to outlook.com (without InPrivate).  So far the best solution is to only have a local account.  But then every time you want to add an app you need to provide the account info.

If one user is logged on, and someone wants to access their Outlook.com and uses IE, that person can't even get to a sign on page! 

Of course they can.  All they have to do is to open a new "In Private" browser window.

As I have stated before ," this is happening on all my email accounts through different companies ."

But what I want to add is I have at least one or two times a day where it want do it . I do not know if I did something different or if it was something through Microsoft or internet explorer .If it is something I did maybe I can catch it  and hope to help solve this problem .Thank you all for posting .

Ron, creating separate Windows user accounts is not a solution.  I have 4 family members using the two computers.  I have a NAS for my files.  If I set up 4 users, I have to then establish all of the Libraries for each user to point to the NAS on each computer.  Then I have to set up each desktop and taskbar correctly to show the programs.  Then when I go into the Word, Excel..., I would have to point to the NAS for each to set as a favorite location.  To do this 4 times for each computer is not the right solution.  I actually tried it.  What a mess!  On some of the users I can't even get the Library set up to point to the NAS because it says it can't do it because the folder isn't indexed... WHAT A HASSLE! 

Also, if one user is logged on, switching to another user takes time.  Another HASSLE.  I would think it would be fast, but it is not. 

If one user is logged on, and someone wants to access their Outlook.com and uses IE, that person can't even get to a sign on page!  So the solution is to use Chrome!!! 

Do Microsoft employees look at these posts?  Is anyone going to respond to this and tell all of us how to fix it?  This is unbelievable.  Who can address this?

Yeah mine will do that also.

I have no clue how to stop it from happening.

This is not my idea of security.

My old Vista never did this.

Actually I had very few problems with Vista.

But this 8.1 has been baffling.

Plus the mess I ran into with Outlook has made my new computer a minefield of problems.

My old Hotmail worked just fine since 2002 and I guess, like many others here, I became over dependent on it and never thought it would just fall apart like it did.

I guess nothing good lasts forever.

Good luck.
