Sorry you are having trouble! I just tested on my copy of windows with around
23,000 photos and it scans fine. Note that detection works, but not recognition
(i.e. it will find faces in photos, but it will not be able to identify who
they are yet).

Firstly, the reason that your shortcuts pointed to a kde4 directory was due to
the old installer and was moved for consistency with other ported apps.

Second, just to confirm did you try selecting specific albums in the 'Scanning
faces' dialog? I tried with 'Detect and recognize faces' chosen and 'Scan again
and merge results' chosen from the drop-down. Then, from the albums tab I have
'Any albums' and 'Any tags' for 'Search in'. On the parameters tab I have it
set to 80. On the advanced tab I have 'Work on all processor cores' checked.
I'm not sure this is an option on Windows Starter. You could try unchecking
this.

If that doesn't work, run the uninstaller and restart your computer. Then
delete the 'digikam' folder (if it still exists) from C:\Program Files\ and
from the Start Menu. You can then reinstall digiKam from the installer. If you
don't mind losing all of your preferences you could also delete the entire
directory here (maybe make a backup of your digikamrc file within first):

C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Roaming\.kde
