At some point signing out of Outlook started redirecting to MSN. This is really frustrating - especially when accidently clicking anywhere on the screen that is NOT the login field causes the login form to disappear.

How do I disable this redirect? I would like to see the outlook login page when I sign out - not the MSN news page.

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Settings

    I just installed Firefox 57, and verified that Greasemonkey and the "no msn on hotmail signout" script work (in Firefox 57).

    I hadn't thought of this angle..  Sounds somewhat reasonable considering the flakes that inhabit the northwest corner of the contiguous USA. 

    More likely though MSN is somenone's pet project and somehow keeps it alive while MSFT abandons almost every other consumer product or service they've ever conned people into investing in.. I don't get it. MSN is such a piece of garbage. 

    Easiest way is to put a toolbar button to Bing on your browser and click that when you want to sign out, then sign out of Bing..

    I don't want to ever see another online news site and hate MSN, FOXNEWS etc.  how do I keep outlook from redirecting me to MSN.com.  NO matter what good news I get from the email I always leave the session mad as hell.

    Hi Web is dead, and pctinker_dc,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I’m happy to assist both of your concerns, about how to prevent redirecting to MSN page every time you logout Outlook.com.

    I understand how this can be annoying for both of you. Please be informed that it is by design that after you logout to your Outlook.com account, the logout page will be redirected to MSN home page. However, there is a workaround for this, and you can ask for help of other users of this thread for instructions.

    If you have other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to tell us.

    Thank you.
