Windows 8/8.1?
go to view tab on the new ribbon UI and click options at the end. Then check "classic explorer bar" if its available

Pasted from the help file:
Quote:
The new toolbar doesn’t show up in Explorer automatically after installation. You have to do a few things before you can use it:
  1. Open a new Windows Explorer window (Win key+E)
  2. Turn on the menu in Explorer – Go to Tools (Alt+T), Folder Options, the View tab, and make sure “Always show menus” is checked.
  3. Right click on the menu bar and select “Classic Explorer Bar” to show the toolbar.
  4. If that option is not available (you only see “Lock the Toolbars”) you may have to enable the plugin from Internet Explorer. Run IE, right click on its toolbar and select “Classic Explorer Bar”. It will ask you if you want to enable this add-on. Select “Enable”, then repeat steps 1 through 3 again.
  5. If even then you don't see the toolbar, maybe the browser extensions are disabled on your system. This is usually the default for servers. Open the "Internet Options", go to the "Advanced" tab, and check the option "Enable third-party browser extensions".

Locate your install directory, and open "Start Menu Settings" see if that works for ya?
maybe somehow the 'right click opens Win+x menu' option got checked. You can search for, and uncheck that if it is checked
