Windows 10: People lookup slow in Photos people tagging

So I now have the People tagging feature in Win10 Photos. It did take some time for the PC to recognize the faces from my large library of photos.


Now, when I try to choose a suggestion and enter a name, the search window for People is extremely slow to load. I can sit through one name tag, but after that it basically freezes.


I have already reset the app in an attempt to fix this, and that did not work but also removed all the tags I had already laboriously completed.


I have also looked at my contacts accounts in the People app (I have a lot of contacts 5000 approx.), and ensured I had only one account active, to try to reduce the number of contacts.


Still no solution.

Tagging people in photos

I am running Windows 10 and want to tag all the people in my photos from an external hard drive. A few mug shots have shown up and I have renamed them as appropriate, however this is only a few of the hundreds of faces I have in the photos.

I have linked the folders but cannot work out how to get it to show the rest of the people so I can start tagging, any advice would be gratefully received

 

Tagging People in Windows 10 Photos app

Is it possible to tag people in photos using Microsoft Photos on Windows 10 platform? (I know you can tag generic info to the photo, but can you tag specific people?)

AND, if not, is there an app that will do this?

I loved the old MS Photo Gallery and am sad that Photos does not appear to work the same way.

 

photos people

Hi, I see only a handfull of "pre-entered" contacts (i.e., Check Bill Balance, Pay My Bill, etc.) on my Nokia 920 when I select Choose a Contact under Photos People -- can't I access my People contacts (including Hotmail) here? Note I have "tagged" several
pictures to existing Hotmail contacts, but only my "Me" contact displays tagged pictures under Photos People.



Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
