Faces lost or reset in Photos
My photos library seems to have reset nearly all my faces. All the named people are still there but they only have a few pictures assigned. I have about 80K photos and videos in my library. A week or so ago, I upgraded to Ventura 13.3.1. I'm not exactly sure when the faces disappeared, but I just noticed last night that my Faces album now says "1,030 photos scanned. Photos will continue scanning your remaining 81K....etc." I had also turned on shared Library, but didn't see the point of it so I deleted it. I'm afraid that might have been what did it, but I don't understand why it would delete my faces when I deleted a "shared library" that never had any photos in it and was never actually shared with anyone.
I have repaired the library but I'm not sure what else to do. I have iCloud photos on so I'm not sure if restoring a backup would help or not? Any ideas welcome.
