I used MP3Gain for years on Windows XP without any problems. Recently I installed it (V1.2.5) on my new Windows 10 laptop, and it doesn't seem to work so well. When I analyze an MP3 to determine the volume, it seems to give an accurate number... but after I boost the volume using a different program (MP3Trim) and take another reading, it displays the exact same number! Basically, it doesn't recognize changes.
What could be causing this?

To clarify, I believe mp3gain's default is to skip files that have already
been processed. I don't use mp3gain anymore, so I can't doublecheck.
(It's too slow.) There may be an option to not skip files that already
have tags. I'm not sure. But deleting the replaygain tags will make it
look as if those files haven't been processed yet, so it will analyze them
again once that's the case.

It doesn’t work on Windows 10. Even if you raise the db to the 90’s, you still have to turn the volume up nearly all the way to get a decent volume. It doesn’t even come close to the better sound of the songs if you don’t use MP3 Gain. It destroys the Gain. It’s like viewing a VU Meter where the song doesn’t even bounce in the red which it should do. It does bounce in the red on Pre Recorded CD’s.

It works exactly the way it is supposed to. I don't think you really
understand enough about audio in general to understand what's going on and
why. At least, that's how it seems to me. When you turn down the volume
of a file by ~12 dB this is not a small change. ~3 dB is halving the
voltage, and 10 dB is halving the volume. If you want to maximize the
volume of your files and still have them matched to each other you need to
analyze your entire library and figure out what your target volume will be
when considering all the files you have. Otherwise, you accept a value
that generally works well enough in most cases, such as the default of 89
dB, and live with that. The fact that you have to turn your volume knob
more is irrelevant. So what? That's what volume knobs are for.

Try deleting tags first.
