How to stop Face detection

Hi

I accidently started face detection and now I cannot stop it

I checked in catalog preferences- metadata- and the auto face detection was not ticked

I shutdown computer and restarted lightroom but it automatically is detecting faces

PEOPLE is showing on the bar under LIBRARY, DEVELOP

I have fixed it !

What I must have done was accidently hit the '0' on the keyboard, which activated the face on the lower bar

I just unclicked the face and now back to normal

Thanks all for helping

You can click on the Activity Center area at the top left corner of the App and in the drop down you will see a option for Face Detection. You can make it paused to stop face detection.08_25ActCtr.jpg

Even when it is paused, the face detection doesn't stop. I can't abort face detection no matter what I do...can you please help?

Did you work out why in the hell it's taking such incredible liberties on my computer without my control?
