You have not loaded any files - that is what the status bar tells us.  
Go to File\>Change Directory (Ctrl-D)  
open a folder that hold supported files and open it.

Grab it at the top divider with the mouse, move the mouse while you keep the mouse button pressed.  
You should see a rectangle right now.  
Now move that rectangle into the area of the menu bar until it becomes a horziontal bar.  
Then release the mouse button

Go to File\>Open configuration folder  
Close MP3tag.  
In the explorer window delete mp3tag.cfg  
Start MP3tag again.

This method really resets everything to shipping state.  
Also, all format strings or Converter strings will be lost.
