In response to my last post in which I explained everything about Windows 8 Messaging app, here is a quick tutorial on how to sign-out from Messaging app in Windows 8.

To all those readers, let me tell you one thing…there is no available option to disable the auto-login function in Messaging app. In case you have removed the hook between your Microsoft Windows Account and your Live ID, then you will have to re-setup the account over Messaging app in order to start chatting again. Yea..I know, it’s a very bad part in Windows 8 Messaging app.
