People View Not Working in Lightroom V6.14

I enabled people view on my entire catalog and the application ran all night long indexing the photos, but I got a 'no people found' indication the next morning and the people view does not appear to be working at all now.  I can manually assign names to people, but Lightroom does not make recommendations for names as the documentation suggests that it should.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue and know how to resolve it?  I've already tried restarting Lightroom and rebooted my PC, but those actions didn't help.

 

Thanks!

Fairly sure this has not worked in v6.14 since 2020. Did it work for you recently?

    No, I just tried experimenting with this feature yesterday.  

    From what I've been reading, you are correct and Adobe has chosen to disable this feature after Nov 2020, or something close to that.  

    There is apparently a program called RunAsDate that might be able to be used to make Lightroom think that it is running prior to Nov 2020, which might resolve that issue, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Have you heard anything about using RunAsDate being used for this issue?

      "I just tried using RunAsDate and it trashed the Lightroom 6.14 application."

       

      Can you give more details about what went wrong?  That could help others...


      Sure.  I downloaded RunAsDate and set it up to run Lightroom 6.14 using a date of November, 2019, with the 'immediate' option checked.

      After clicking 'Run' in the RunAsDate application, Lightroom 6.14 launched to the splash screeen and then froze.  After that, it appeared that the Lightpoint 6.14 executable disappeared completely, so I had to reinstall Lightpoint 6.14 to recover from that.  The catalog was still fine, however.

      Hopefully, someone in the Adobe Support Community can figure out how to get face recognition working again in Lightroom 6.14, because it is a very bad customer experience to purchase a licensed, fully functional version of Lightpoint 6.0 from Adobe in 2018, with face recognition, and then have face recognition stop working in 2020, requiring a $20 per month subscripton cost going forward to get this functionality back again.
