Windows 10: In windows 10 photo viewer there are no stars for rating individual photos

In windows 10 photo viewer there are no stars for rating individual photos. When I go into properties/details the Rating field has "Unrated". I am unable to change this. What do I need to do to set up the 5 star rating?

Photos app and star ratings

Hi there,

Not sure if you can help. I've just got a new computer with Windows 10. I previously used Photo Gallery to view my photos individually. As I scrolled through them I would mark any I liked and wanted to use in a photo album as 5 star rating. Then I could filter on ones that had a 5 star rating and move them into a new folder. The photo album software could then navigate the the folder with all the 5 star rating photos and I could add them to the photo album.

I can't find a simple way of doing this or something similar in windows 10. The Photo app has an option to mark a Photo as Favourite, but I can't see how to filter on favourite and move them to a separate folder.

Also, there doesn't seem to be any auto correct options - in Photo Gallery you could select buttons that would auto correct for exposure and other things, but there only seem to be more manual options in windows 10.

Perhaps a different app would work, but I'm not sure where to start.
Any help would be appreciated.

Using windows 10 version 1809

You can do this in File Explorer.

Browse to your photo folder, select large thumbnails view and make properties visible (see picture below). In properties you can set ratings for any photo, and then sort photos by rating

OK, I've reread you original question, and you can filter Favorite photos...

It is at the top of the Photo app. positoin can varies - not sure on which parameters, but it is on of the first




After you are done with adding them to Favorites, click on select at the top, select them all ,and copy..
