total content of my library (tracks/albums)?

Of course, it says you have a Mac above, but you posted in iTunes for Windows, and I got distracted. I was going to try to show how to use the menu bar to turn the status bar on and off in an animated GIF, but the capture software I was going to use won't get the menu bar on a Mac, so I thought I'd try it in Windows, where I ran into the issue I mentioned. Seeing as the thread is iTunes for Windows I seized on the possible explanation.

On a Mac CMD+/ should show or hide the status bar. In the Songs view CMD+B will show or hide the column browser. With both enabled this is the kind of thing you ought to be able to see:

In the Songs view with the status bar showing you should see the total number of tracks in the library at the bottom of the iTunes window. In the Albums view it tells you how many albums there are.

Ah, it looks like the show/hide status bar option is missing from the view menu of iTunes 12.7.4.3 for Windows. It is there on a Mac, and should be available using the Ctrl+/ keyboard shortcut in Windows, but that isn't working. I guess you're stuck with the state of the status bar that you had last time you updated iTunes, and will be until the next one. 😕

Use View > Show Status Bar. Different views of the library will give you counts of artists, albums, songs, etc. Try also View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser.

CMD+/ shows or hides it here. Perhaps the bottom edge of your iTunes window is hiding behind the dock.

You're welcome. 🙂

Glad you got there in the end. 🙂
