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?

    Hey Murray NZ.   When I was in Russia, I ended up with MSN Russia as my re-direct page after signing out of Outlook. Well then why wouldn't it change when I flew back to my home country, or any other country? In fact it never changed before regardless of what country I logged in and out of. Only the one time in Russia, I have travled to many countries since, but it always STAYED that way, until today when I finally found at the top right corner of the the MSN page, - that little round screw looking thing. I clicked it and it gives a drop down menu which reads: change language content, switch to Latino, Customize this page, make MSN my homepage, feedback and help. Not sure if this is a Google Chrome thing, but again, mine never changed in any other country and I travel on cruise ships for a living so the Russia MSN home page was a first. Npw I am in Malaysia and it has not changed. Go figure. BUT, but but but, I DO have another separate problem with Outlook, and that's the fact that even after disabling Skype on my Hotmail, whenever I sign in, I am still ALWAYS connected and signed into Skype. I went into account settings on my Skype, I don't even have the option of connecting my Skype to my Outlook, it just reads "not linked" and doesn't even give me the option to link it or FB. Yet, there it is right there, open and signed in every time I use Outlook. Causes me MAJOR grief because people think I am ignoring them on Skype whenever I have a few fleeting moments to take care of BUSINESS on my Hotmail email account, and they send me messages asking why I am not even saying hi. This particularly happens with family, who then try to start a video call and I don't even have the Skype app open on my computer. It's a pain and I can't get out of it....any help here? Again, on my Skype account it reads "not linked"...yet I am always signed into Skype soon as I sign into my Hotmail/Outlook account...!!! argh...

    Hi,

    I have just noticed the last few days that when I sign out I'm now directed to MSM!!!! I have always been redirected to Nine MSM which is Australia, what is being done to fix this issue? I dont want to go to MSM, it's of no interest to me.

    Seeing as how I have always gone to Nine MSM something must have been changed.

    I have been using outlook for a year or more and this have never happened, I hope this can be fixed, as I see I'm not the only person with this issue.  :(

    Oh good, it's not just me that it's happening to. I'm being directed to msn.com when I sign out of outlook too. I'm in Australia, I signed up in Australia in 1998, haven't moved country, haven't changed my email, but all of a sudden it's going to msn.com, instead of ninemsn.com.au  I would like this fixed too!

    I have the same issue too. I'm being redirected to MSN.com instead of MSN.ca. I've even had my "city" changed from Toronto to "Burlington, CAN" and am getting Burlington specific ads and weather. What are you guys doing??? I want this issue corrected. I'm getting so ticked off I'm considering getting ride of MSN all together. Are  you going to be able to fix this for me or not?
