Windows 10: Windows Photos App - People folder not showing all tags

Can you advise if there is a way for the People page to display people that are in less than 3 photos? Currently I will only see a person if they are tagged in at least 3 photos.

Tagging people option in Photo App

Hey Josephef54!

There is a way to turn off the automatic people tagging in the Photos app.

• Open Photos.
• Click the "..." in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Click Settings
• Scroll down to the "Viewing and Editing" section, and flip "People" switch.

 

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,

 

Photo App people tagging

I have installed a new hard drive with a clean install of Windows 10 Home, Version 1809.

I was hoping the photo app would re-scan my photos and tag them, but it seems to have halted with less than twenty photos tagged.

The app does show all photos in my Pictures folder. (And that is the only folder it is monitoring, and the only folder with pictures.)

Is there some way to re-initiate the scan process? Force it to scan?
