File Explorer does not show file Tags anymore

i'm using file Tags to add additional info on the file which i can use to organise and find stuff since quite some time i'm unable to view these tags anylonger in file explorer they are still there...

thx for the reply but since i had the habit of using tags, you could have assumed that the tag column was already present in the explorer view...

and no turning it on and off does not help

and the details view does not show the tag either

this must be an explorer bug

the only place i can see the actual tag is in excel

 

microsoft????

    Same problem.

    In my case I noticed that the TAGs that not appears in the column Tags are the ones that belongs to the

    "Extended Properties" like PDF.   

    Using the app "File Metadata" I could make appears the file TAGs for files like PDFs, I can tag the files, I can search the files by tags but they don't appear in the column TAGs in file explorer.

    Oddly enough, after a search by the tag, which works smoothly, the tag appear in the column - but every time only after a search.
