Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com
I've done the feedback to MS too.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.

Well, I just sent my feedback about Outlook.com, and hopefully lots of others are doing the same. :-)
(Note to disgruntled users: not much point blasting the forum moderators about this issue, as their hands are tied. If you work for a Ford dealership, and you tell your customer "Go buy a Toyota, they're better", how long do you think you will be on Henry's payroll? :-) )

Hi Judith R,
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
As we have said before you will be redirected to MSN.com after you sign out of Outlook.com. There are no currently available feature to disable this. We strongly suggest that you send your suggestions about this to our feedback forum:
Also, to prevent getting spam email, set your Junk-filtering level to exclusive. This will block all incoming messages and you will receive emails only from trusted senders.
Please follow these steps to setup your junk e-mail filter in Outlook:
If you choose Exclusive for your junk e-mail filter, only messages from e-mail addresses on your Contacts or Allowed senders lists appear in your Inbox. Messages from senders not on those lists are automatically sent to the Junk e-mail folder.
You should occasionally check your junk e-mail folder to make sure that good messages are not sent there by mistake.
How to block/unblock a sender:
Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
Thank you
Hi Edgar
we all know that we are being redirected to MSM by design what we would like you to help us with is to let us know how we can prevent this. I have no interest in cleb gossip and would like to be brough back to the outlook log in page again.
I changed from gmail because I was sick of them reading my email to send me spam advertising will I have to leave outlook to avoid more spam?

.
also in all the years i've ended up on answers.microsoft i have yet to see anything answered. they should rename it dancesaroundthequestion.microsoft,
What a perfect statement to describe Microsoft's answer to this problem. They NEVER give you a straight answer.
I was given the option to go to the local msn or global msn and I always clicked on local. Now I only get redirected back to the global site.
