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?

    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.

    Hi everyone,

    I am sorry for the confusion.

    Please be informed that it is by default that when you sign out from your Outllok.com, you are being redirected to msn page. However, the location of it (ex. msn Australia, msn NZ) is randomly shown. It can be different everyday or it can be the same as well.

    Should you need further assistance about the issue, please let us know.

    Thanks!

    Hi MurrayNZ,John Smithies,biddy_bid,

    Thank you for reaching back to us here in Microsoft Community Forum. 

    The default country for the MSN homepage is set up based from the country you choose when you register your Microsoft account.

    To verify this further, can you please provide us your email address/es on the private thread. 

    Thanks,
