I want to change the default page after signing out from Outlook.com

In August 2013 I asked a question on this community about how to change the default page after signing out of Outlook.com.  Since opening my email address in July, every time when I sign out it goes to MSN.co.uk - a page I do not want.  I want this go to MSN.co.nz, for my country.  I have looked for settings to change this - but nothing is available on the outlook.com settings. And yes - before anyone asks me - my details all CLEARLY state New Zealand as my country on my profile. I have checked this multiple upon multiple times.

I have asked for solutions but no luck so far. In replies from the Microsoft Community, various suggestions have been provided and webpages to contact - which I have done.  But those websites either tell me to check my country details (doh!...as if I am that stupid), don't reply or send me to other webpage - which simply repeats the previous responses.

We can land space vehicles on Mars, do complex brain surgery, find the Higgs Boson, see distant stars and planets...yet no one can provide a simple solution to this??  I may not be a computer genius, but seriously, come on...solving this can't really be this hard.

Can anyone shed some specific and direct solutions to this?

    Hello Evan,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community forum and we greatly appreciate your efforts for sharing your experience regarding this matter.

    Please be advised that any Microsoft accounts whether it was located on United Kingdom, Australia, Asia, etc, it will still be automatically redirected to MSN homepage  by default and there's no way yet for us to fix this issue. However, if your account information was located in Australia and you logged off from OneDrive, **Calendar**or People page, it will automatically redirects you to the Ninemsn homepage.

    Should you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

    Hi All,

    As I have posted already, when I go to sign out I first go to edit profile... I have 2 email accounts, on one I have my Country, town, city and the other I don't have my location there. On both I just open the edit profile page, then without making any changes go to my name and sign out, it seems to pause for a couple of seconds then the Internet explorer symbol appears and then the Nine MSM name appears and it goes to NineMSM Australia with my city... Melbourne. I then have to close my edit prifile page.

    As mention on one account I have no details... Country, town ans so on.

    Somehow it knows where I am, If I just sign out from my mail page it goes to MSM.

    I find this a little confusing, as up until a few days ago it has always gone to NineMSM, this is how it's been for 2 years or so. Suddnely everyone is having this MSM issue, something must have changed??

    Hi All,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum about this.

    I understand that most of you are having issues being redirected to the wrong MSN homepage after signing out from your mailbox. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

    We'd like to know if this happens if you sign out from calendar.live.com or people.live.com or if it only happens whenever you sign out from outlook.com?

    This may help us further isolate what's causing the issue.

    Thank you.
