Answer

I just found a solution but it takes multiple steps and the average user will never know how to do it.

1.) When your Hotmail is open in Windows 8 press the keyboard's windows logo key and the letter "I" at the same time.

 

2.) On the right hand side under "Settings" click on "Accounts"

 

3.) Click on your Hotmail account that will be showing.

 

4.) At the bottom there is a box "Remove all accounts" click on it. Don't worry this doesn't delete your Hotmail account or any account it just signs you out. You will have to click the box twice as a notification pops up saying your data will still be preserved in cloud.

 

5.) go back and check the mail application now it will ask you to "try again" and this takes you back to the sign in section.

 

Whew, too bad Microsoft didn't come up with a better solution. Like I said I can see lots of lawsuits and plenty of divorces because of this.
