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?

    That would be "his" one account. But hey, as of today, September 9th, every single account on our computer now goes to the original MSN site that we've been on for years. Don't know how or why, let's just hope it stays that way.

    Hi Evan,

    Yes, I have just checked my accounts today and both go back to my preferred New Zealand homepage. This has only changed in the last two days for me.  I sincerely hope that this will be permanent from now.

    Thanks for sticking with the issue. Persistence is key!

    Hi Evan

    Oh...maybe I spoke to quick.  When I signing out from my email at work today, I was directed to the NZ homepage - that was different than what happened previously. Maybe it was a glitch!  However, I have just tried at home, and it goes to the local country page MSN (in this case Indonesia).  Not sure what is happening here. Just weird.  Maybe the change is just temporary - and could be temperamental!

    Somehow the setup when exiting Outlook remains incorrect.  I still can't understand why the redirected page is simply not defaulted - permanently - to the country listed on the profile. Surely its not that hard. I can sign out of Yahoo! - from ANY computer

    • and still get directed to the Yahoo! NZ homepage so not sure why Microsoft is different.

    Hi MurrayNZ,

    I have been checking both my accounts over the last few days, since I saw your post.

    Mine are all going to my Nine MSM home page so it looks as if this issue, from my point has been fixed.

    I have also noticed others users saying there's seem to working as normal, I'm not sure when I post to you if everyone sees the post or not? But good luck to all.

    When I first found this post I was pleased to see others were having problems. And I guess that someone somehwere in Microsoft took note and fixed this issue which is good to see.

    I will Kinda miss following the progress, maybe not but it's been interesting seeing the various posts from around the world.

    Good luck, Cheers

    Hi Joey_D,

    It appears that the issue has been solved, my email addresses both go to my hometown page as they did proir to the problems. I have not changed anything. I have also noticed other posts from people saying there accounts seem to be logging out correctly.

    If you have made changes to get things up and running again thank you for listening and looking into this isuue, it's made me and I'm sure other users very happy.

    It's good to see our voices were heard.

    Kind regards..
