Within the last month or so, Outlook now asks me every time I log in if I want to stay signed in. I do not wish to stay signed in so I always choose "no". But this question reappears every single time I log in, which is very annoying. How do I stop it? I shouldn't have to keep answering the same question over and over again. I can't find anything in my account settings to turn this off, even an internet search doesn't bring up an answer.

I have a "msn.com" account and a "hotmail.com" account. I >never< get asked when logging in to the "msn.com" account but I >always< get asked when logging in to the "hotmail.com" account. What is the difference? Why?

Please get rid of this, it isn't a feature, it is an extra click. I was made to utilize the Microsoft service for 5 years when I was in school and found it immensely frustrating, now I am forced to use it in my career because our largest vendor switched to your service. I tried to be hopeful that the service had improved in the five years since I last used it but was greatly disappointed to find this issue persists. Just make it go away. Everything that gets put into your computer system replaces an older system that was easier to use. Do better.
Niagara College used Blackboard, which was the cheaper option, Brock University used Microsoft and let me tell you the cheaper option was better.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there’s no setting in Outlook to permanently turn off the "Stay signed in?" prompt; even with cookies enabled, the choice isn’t always remembered. This usually happens if you’re signed in with multiple Microsoft accounts, if your browser or extensions interfere with session cookies.
Regards,
Hi Andybann,
Nice to meet you! My name is Randy and I'm an independent advisor.
Outlook shows the "Stay signed in?" prompt because it relies on cookies to remember your choice; if your browser clears cookies on exit or blocks them, you’ll be asked every time. To reduce this, check that your browser isn’t deleting Microsoft/Outlook cookies, avoid using private browsing if you want the setting saved.
Kind regards,
I've seen this answer before, yet I have cookies enabled and I don't delete them, and I still get the message - repeatedly. I also don't get an option to "stop seeing this message" as others have reported on this forum. Judging by the number of posts about this annoying message that can't be turned off, it's high time Microsoft did something about it. It should be something that can be switched off in account settings.
