I've been meaning to ask about this too. I don't use IE on the desktop but I've noticed that the Metro version automatically logs me in to Bing which I'm not too happy about. I'd prefer not to have Microsoft (or anyone) logging searches against my name. If I wanted to be tracked like that I'd use Google.

In that case then I would recommend going to the Advanced tab in Internet Options (found by clicking on the settings gear icon in IE), and unchecking the 'Enable Integrated Windows Authentication' option.

That should prevent it from using the Microsoft Account details to autologin once you've signed out.

Nope that doesn't work for me either.

I did totally clean out the cache and cookies but it still logs me right in automatically.

It is because the IE is tied to microsoft account. Nothing you could do about it. You might want to reset Internet Explorer ... that reset feature is located in Internet options under advanced tab but if you do that, you will lose the settings that you made changes such as trust sites data. I doubt that it would work but you could try since I have not used IE.

If you don't like this method, then there is alternative browser of your choice such as Firefox, Chrome, etc.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
