Use the Windows explorer and drag&drop the folder into the MP3tag Windows while pressing Ctrl - this adds the folder to the currently loaded files and works just like a refresh for a single folder.  
To reload all folders, also use drag&drop either with the selected top folder or a set of folders in the Windows Explorer.
