Well, that's not important anymore since you rolled back the updates. I was curious what version was the one that wasn't working.
Anyway, for the latest version of Windows you need the latest version of Classic Shell, which is 4.3.0. |

If you suspect Classic Shell is the problem, then uninstall it temporarily to test that.
Your settings will be preserved for the next time you install it. |

| Look for the setting "Delay multiplier for split buttons". Set it to some rather large number, like 10000. This will make the delay 100 longer than the normal hover delay, so about half minute. It will effectively disable the hover behavior. |

It is not possible to display the start screen inside another window. It is using a completely different and incompatible technology.
Start8 simply finds the main window of the menu and resizes it. It doesn't mix two menus in a single UI. Besides, that trick only worked for Windows 8. |

| Sorry, currently there are no plans to implement tiles in the foreseeable future. Live tiles are impossible (without reverse engineering and rewriting a large portion of the OS). Even dead tiles are a lot of work - people will want to add/remove/reorder/edit them dynamically. |

You have a mix of files from version 4.3.0 and 4.2.7.
Use the Classic Shell Utility again, and this time choose the manual uninstall option. Restart the computer, then make sure the folder D:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ is gone. If not, delete it manually.
Then install version 4.3.0 |
