Classic Shell's Start Menu certainly shows the links to both, your frequently used programs, as well as apps however you will have to make sure the right settings are turned on and then use your programs for some time (Windows collects that data of frequently used programs, not Classic Shell).
1. First, right click an empty area of the Taskbar, click Properties and go to the Jump Lists tab. Make sure the setting called "Store recently opened programs" is checked there. That setting controls whether Windows maintains a list of commonly opened programs in the registry.
2. Now, right click the Start button and click Settings. Go to the Main menu tab (All Settings). There look for the setting "Show recent or frequent programs". The Recent list is maintained by Classic Shell. The frequent list data is maintained by Windows, Classic Shell shows it if the above setting in step 1 is enabled. You can pick between Recent or Frequent. You can also check or uncheck "Show Recent Metro apps" as you want. If you use the Recent list, only programs and apps launched from inside the Start Menu are tracked. If you use the Frequent list, they are tracked systemwide, even if you launch them, for example from the Desktop or by double clicking a file associated with a program.
As you use your programs over time, the Frequent or Recent lists will populate. Above it is the Pinned list where you can drag shortcuts to pin them.
