Windows 10: Tagging people option in Photo App

I just purchased a new computer and just started to tag people from the over 270,000+ photos I have. Since I take a lot of photos there are certainly people I am not worried about tagging. Is there a way to ignore them so the app does not keep showing me these people? You know - people in the background of Disney or parties or other travel photographs? I do not want to prompted to tag them any more. Thanks for any help you can provide.

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,

 

Tagging people in photos

This is all well and good and that does work, but once you go through the suggested photos and name them there are some that are miss recognized. So I deleted the tag but it does not add the face back to any list to rename it.

How does any new photo being added, scanned and give me the ability to tag it? I don't find any option to have the photo program rescan.

Need some help.

Thanks,

Pat
