Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com
The reason that they do this is that they make money with publicity, that's the reason why they don't allow us to change this
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.

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.
I am concerned with the same issue, end worse, MSN redirest's me to prodigy, it takes to long after signing out pls change your web site codding.
