    Loss of tags in Photos app following Win10 upgrade


    I have just had windows 10 and hard drive storage upgrades. I use tags in photo properties and before the upgrades, tags would pop up and I could select one. Now, I have to add a tag separately to each photo. Where is the library of existing tags? They are still on the photos, but as noted, now have to be typed separately for each.

    :)

  2. tags or title for pictures / photos

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Title is used to get more information about the content, different documents will have different title.

    You can add same tags for documents with different title to group them to together, which will help in searching the file with same tags. I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to add tags or title to your image.

    Steps:


    1. Right click on the Image or photo you want to tag.
    2. Select Properties.
    3. Select Detail tab.
    4. Under Description section, select
      tags or title.
    5. Add your tags or title and click on
      Ok.

    Note: You can add more than one tag to the same image or photo.

    Hope it helps.
