On clean installation of Windows 10, mp3tag fails to start. I get an error window stating:

Server Busy  
This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch to" to activate the busy program and correct the problem.

Buttons:  
Switch to  
Retry  
Canceled - grayed out

Neither of the buttons lets me start the program.

Finally ran when switched to compatibility mode for Windows 8 and "Run this program as administrator"

That is strange as I run it at the moment on W10 without any glitches.

Check if you have installed it under the same user id that runs it in the end.  
Or, if you have a portable installation, check the access rights for the program folder.
