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

    Hi Everyone,

    Good day!

    To all customer who are having the same issue that after logging out from Outlook.com it directs to the MSN page.

    I would like to inform you that this is by design and this is depends on the ISP or the DNS. The ISP or the DNS detects the default homepage.

    If there's anything else that I can help you with, please do not hesitate to reply here and we will further assist you. We'd love to hear from you again.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Edgar,

    despite the fact we users understand this is by design you haven't answered the other problem of why doesn't any of the selections work? If I want to choose the AUS option it does nothing, same for the US and same for the 'never bother me again'.

    So can you please advise how we the user base is meant to resolve this problem?

    Actually, you can't block msn.com through the hosts file. -- I know because this was my first solution to this issue.

    Certain microsoft websites bypass the hosts file -- There are a few articles about this on the internet, if you care to verify or you can just test it yourself.
