It seems weird that my background noise can be too low. Yes, it is unexpected for the background noise to be below -90 dB. That's why the plug-in is warning you. If you know "why" the noise floor is below -90 dB, then you may decide that it's OK and ignore the warning. If you don't know w...

I can't load around 40% of my library into Audacity. Yet I can load 100% of mine. I guess it depends on where you get your MP3s.

Works for me on Windows 10.
Perhaps worth resetting keyboard preferences (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/key ... ences.html)
I'm using the "Full" set of defaults.
