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

    amstech there is something you can do. Did you try the redirection software I recomend on page 2? Give it a try, if it doesn't work I can help you but include the browser you are using in your question.

    There have been several people saying "let me help you with this issue" and did absolutely nothing. If you can't help with the redirect, shut your mouth and don't reply.

    It's something Microsoft have done to get people to visit MSN. It's unnecessarily asinine and no one will do anything about it because they can't.

    Simple answer: No, there is nothing you can do about Microsoft's setting to re-direct you to their Yahoo wannabee MSN page.

    Hi moonstonekent,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Let me assist you with your concern regarding signing out to your account and you were being redirected to MSN page.

    Please be informed that the default sign out page of Outlook.com is MSN homepage.

    Please check the second page where I show you how to change the redirected page, you can also try the greasemonkey plugin from a couple posts above.

    Yes that redirection has been there for a long time, I remember it from early 2000s, maybe before.
