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

    heres the fix

    1. load the "greasemonkey" plugin - its available for firefox and chrome - google it
    2. load the script for the plugin - "no msn on hotmail signout" - found at greasyfork.org - google it

    this will nix the re-direct to msn website when you log out and simply leave you at your sign on page

    now go make it a great day !!

    this pisses me off, so much so that i ended up here to try remove it.

    the MSN page is full of nothing but utter rubbish. i don't care what "celeb" took a selfie while sitting on the toilet. complete waste of internet space that page is..garbage.

    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, bring back the old MSN messenger.

    ........

    Thank you for posting your issue here in Microsoft Community Forum.

    Let me help you with your issue. I understand that

    ........ 

    Looks to met the thread starts of with an whole bunch of automated responses, but i'm relieved to see i'm not the only one that thinks the redirect to (and the layout and content of) the msn page is so annoying it has became the one places on Internet i never ever want to see again in whole of my life.

    Opera : has a textfile where you can add domains to block

    Firefox : use adblocker

    but the best way (which works for all browsers you have or even might use in the future) :

    point msn.com to any blackhole in the universe you like via your hosts file

    c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

           127.0.0.1       *.msn.com
