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

    Microsoft isn't going to "fix" this..    It's by design...

    It's how they get so many page hits that are used to justify the site's existence to Nadella..  Were they to stop the logout redirects to MSN.com, they would lose the 400 million hits per day Hotmail users generate for them when they log out.

    MSN is clearly someone's sacred puppy at Microsoft and it's the worst asset the company owns considering the tabloid style and useless content that lacks any resemblance of integrity.  The real solution won't come until that individual either quits the company or gets fired.   I suspect they're a Ballmer hire.  

    MSN.com ruins the reputation of Microsoft.

    If you want to login multiple accounts, you can use another browser, or use the Private Browsing Window instead.

    However, if you still want to sign out and take you back to the same login page, you can use this link here :

    https://login.live.com/logout.srf?id=64855&ru=https%3a%2f%2flogin.live.com%2flogin.srf%3fwa%3dwsignin1.0%26ct%3d1358241172%26rver%3d6.1.6206.0%26sa%3d1%26ntprob%3d-1%26wp%3dMBI_SSL_SHARED%26wreply%3dhttps%3a%252F%252Fmail.live.com

    The end address can be customized for Microsoft websites and services.  So you can change it to "account.live.com" to take you to the sign in page for Account Settings, "account.xbox.com" for XBOX Account Settings, "products.office.com" for the Office webpage, "onedrive.live.com" for OneDrive, and so on.

    So you can bookmark this URL for a customized log out page for Microsoft Services.

    I'm slowly losing brain cells reading these "Experts".

    Microsoft, your supportive staff are being highly retarded, thanks heaven for cheap salaries I guess, choosing workers from undeveloped countries, shame on you.

    Sellouts.

    Also stop directing from Outlook to MSN EVERY freaking time we log out, multiple accounts makes this a pain, it cracks peoples skulls right on open.

    It's not the programmers.. It's the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising folks who drive this tabloid content and shove it in the faces of innocent victims.    Nadella just nixed 1200 more of them so hopefully this group will have much less influence on Microsoft's products and services going forward..   Nothing they've ever done has been productive for the company or their customers.  They screw up everything they touch or have influence with.
