Windows 10: Photo App People tagging for family growing up

I have more than 5000 photos of my family and want to create an album for each of my adult kids using Microsoft Photo App. It only tags faces on about 10% of the photos of them as adults, and none of them as kids growing up. I can't go through them one by one since this defeats the purpose of facial recognition of the Photo App. What are my options?

People tagging in Photo Preview app

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Please note that tagging in Photos app is based on Artificial intelligence (AI) which means once you tag a person it should search for similar faces and tag them in all the Pictures and also create a contact in people’s app. Just make sure that
you are signed in with your Microsoft account using which you tagged the people earlier. AI should take some time, however the tags should appear if it was signed to your Microsoft account.



So to have a better understanding of the issue, please write back with the following information:

1. 1. Are you signed in using the same Microsoft account on both the devices?
      
   2. Which version of Windows is installed on your device?
      
   3. Which version of photos app is installed on your device?
      

Regards,

 

MS Photos, People Tags


I have been using the MS Photos app for a long time and I had not seen this issue.......but now after a clean install because of a computer crash the "People" Tab did not show the "Start Tagging" button when I first opened it and I only show a few people that have been automatically tagged by the app. I have a few thousand pictures on my computer so I know I should have more tagged than there are. Is there any way to trigger the "Start Tagging" button so it can find everyone? Thanks in advance.....

 

tag people in photos app

There is no direct way to do it in Photos, but you could open the photo in its original location on the hard disk, right click, choose Properties > Details tab then add tags there.
