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.

    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.

    Ok, It looks like it's allowed to give you some software recommendations, I'm giving you guys the easiest fix, a browser redirector.

    For Firefox look for the add-on called redirector, open the add-on options and click "New redirect" then you can enter a description, in "Example URL" type "http://www.msn.com/*" then in "Include pattern" type "http://www.msn.com/*", then in "Redirect to" type "https://signout.live.com/content/dam/imp/surfaces/mail_signout/v7/mail/en-us.html" (or any other url you want), check the "wildcard" checkbox and the "Enabled" checkbox.

    You have to repeat the steps for every url you get redirected to, for example "http://www.bing.*"

    That will make your browser redirect to the signout form (or any url you want). But you wont be able to visit that url unless you disable the redirector entry.

    I haven't tried this one too much but for Chrome you can download the Switcheroo Redirectoradd-on. With this add-on you can redirect from  http://www.msn.com/ to https://signout.live.com/content/dam/imp/surfaces/mail\_signout/v7/mail/en-us.html or any url you want.
