I'm not sure what you mean by " i ask to find duplicates in the photos app menue..." Photos scans through the pictures, and when it finds duplicate images it shows them in a view in the top section of the sidebar:
It can take several days to find duplicates, so you may have to be patient. If it finds no duplicate images, then there will be no Duplicates view available. Restarting doesn't initiate a new scan.
