It's a bug (or loss of yet another useful feature). I reported it to Microsoft via Feedback Hub. See the following discussions for details.

Tagging pics no longer works?

I take a large amount of photos. I like to organize them by tags. Up until a week ago I could do my usual properties > details > start typing and any tag matching would appear. Now, I can still add a tag but nothing pops up. I did a clean install last night and downloaded 2 pics to test. I added a tag to one pic and applied it. I go to the 2nd pic and start typing the new tag and nothing comes up. Did they do away with this feature? It would suck to constantly have to type each individual tag out. I chatted with support and he told me I had to use a 3rd party app to restore metadata but wouldn't tell me exactly where to go or what needed to be restored.

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.
Current Microsoft issue regarding image tag anomalies.
You can visit the following website.
Windows 11, version 24H2 known issues and notifications | Microsoft Learn
Tap Send Feedback Suggestion at the bottom.
Feedback your questions with text and image suggestions.
For the second part, there are a number of programs that manage and respond to the metadata of images.
But due to Microsoft Community Guidelines. I can't recommend you these tools directly.
Of course you can search your question in BING.
I believe they will give you more suggestions.
Finally, the problem may be related to your disk paths and permissions, you can try to change one image path to another disk to test.
