Lightroom CC lost all facial recognition tags

[Dave Hansen]

Running LR CC 2015.9. Over the last few months, I've been periodically using the facial recognition feature on my catalog of more than 60,000 images. I was happy a couple weeks ago when I finally got through my entire catalog. I had no "unnamed people" and felt way too organized, to be honest! Alas, I just opened LR and NONE of my images are named! Zero. All 60,000+ people have somehow entered the witness protection program! I am so annoyed right now. Don't tell me that hours and hours and hours of time have been wasted. Anyone?

First start by checking that you have opened the correct catalog.

I only use one catalog.

Check if you opened a backup for example.
Also, the people screen is reflective of the images you have in the filmstrip view. So verify you have all images selected.
I have run into this also, and I hit some key combination for people/keyword filtering that I then had to undo. Problem is I do not recall off hand how, and I am at work without Lr.

Nope, checked all that. :/
