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?

    Dearest Abigail...unfortunately you are contributing to the confusion.  We know that the redirect page goes to MSN after signing out from Outlook.com - that is the reasons for the posts.  And that can be changed.  Any default setting can be changed.  You are sadly incorrect to state that "It can be different everyday or it can be the same as well" (I assume you are from the USA, so don't have this issue anyway).

    Secondly, thanks for asking "Should you need further assistance about the issue, please let us know."  We are asking (read the posts!) but no one is listening.  No one!

    Here's a challenge.  Please find a solution.

    I am sorry..."it will still be automatically redirected to ***MSN***homepage by default and there's no way yet for us to fix this issue".  Well, fix it.  Just talking about it is NOT the answer.  It is clear this is a real issue for users.  Please fix it.  Yahoo! can get this right...so why can't Microsoft?

    Hi Wayne,

    Thanks for your reply, I have replied to the feedback page as suggested.

    I would like to respond to this comment from you "Like my previous colleagues have told you, the location of the signout page is based on the location of where you have created your account. There's no way to change this right now."

    1: If this is true then my accounts should log out to NineMSM as they were created in Melbourne, Australia.

    2: Outlook used to sign out to the sign in page but then that changed and since then they have always signed out to NineMSM. With the option to sign back in. My accounts until last week have never gone to MSM!!!!

    3: I did not make any changes so something has been changed somewhere for this to happen.

    Regards,

    Hi Evan405.

    Thank you for posting back. We'll be here to help you in your concern.

    Like my previous colleagues have told you, the location of the signout page is based on the location of where you have created your account. There's no way to change this right now.

    If you think it would be nice if user's can have options regarding the Microsoft site where they went to go after logging out in Outlook.com, I suggest that you voice this out through our feedback page.

    Thank you and take care now.
