Azure Portal switch directory problem

Hey,

Does someone knows how to switch directory in the Azure Portal?
For about 3-4 weeks I can't do that.
Whenever I switch directory it reloads few times and is going back to previous directory.
Even when I set second directory as default after login. It still doesn't work.

Only way how I can switch directory is to open private/incognito mode and login there.
But it works only few minutes. After 3-4 minutes it brings me back to old directory.

I tried to clean cookies, change browser and it still works in this weird way.

Please help.

I can't even choose proper tags...

    I would like to gather the following step which is the one below:

    You can go to your Azure AD and once you are there, you fill find "Managed Tenants".

    @Boguski Adam

    You can use below URL to login to any directory you want to access.

    https://portal.azure.com/<default domain name>

    This will directly redirect you to the authentication page. Once you enter your credentials it will take to you the directory that you mention in URL

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hello all,

    I am having the same issue for some time and finally had time to search for it.

    The only way I can solve this is to go to the browser inspector and clear all cache and then try to switch directory. Also the domain workaround works.
    Passing a domain name in the URL can be a workaround, but in my opinion is not a solution.
