Windows 10: windows 10 photos app favorites

Hi,I hate to say it but this app is so disappointing. I used it to mark about 2000 as "favorites" and it got me stuck in so many different ways, I wouldn't recommend it at all until it is fixed. Right now, after struggling with it for two months, I would like to remove all of my photos from the "favorite" tag. I tried marking all the photos also not a convenient process and clicking "remove from favorites" but it only removed some of the photos. Now, when I mark all of the photos in the 'favorites' album, the "remove from favorites" option doesn't even show up, so the only way to remove them
