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 used to have this problem before and somehow found a way to stop microsoft redirecting me to msn after logging out of outlook.com. But now it's back again and redirecting me to msn page - like all the others I don't really need to be redirected to the msn page. Microsoft needs to realize it can't force people which pages they should look at and provide us with a way to stop this redirection.

    Wow, these peopleare just beating around the bush, they know exactly what you are asking for but I'm sure they are not allowed to tell you how.

    A more respectful approach of an answer from them would something in the lines of: "That's a default behavior, you can't change it by using any option in Outlook or MSN, we can't recommend you one solution because of our policies. You will probably have to rely in third party software to achieve what you want".

    My answer is:

    This is somewhat advanced stuff but I suggest you use third party software, something like some local DNS proxy that allows you to use wildcards, so you can do something like "127.0.0.1     *.msn.com" (the IP can be for any website you want, like your homepage). You can look for some host file "enhancer" that also allows you to use wildcards. The problem with the previous methods is that the IP may change, so you could look for software that lets you redirect to an URL like outlook.com

    You can also look for an add-on like a redirector for your browser, or there may be something made specifically for your issue.

    I'm not giving you any specific program hoping not getting my answer deleted.
