Post subject: | Cannot Get Original Windows 10 Menu from Classic Shell |
I cannot produce the original Windows 10 menu, whether via the choice off of the main Classic Shell Menu, or via keyboard-summoning (see the Controls tab in Settings, where one may make the Win key plus mouse click open the original Win 10 menu). How may I fix this problem, without reinstalling? I am using the most recent version of Classic Shell and the most recent version of Windows 10 that precedes the Anniversary Update. Thanks |

If you exit the start menu (right-click on the start button -> Exit), can you access the Windows 10 menu? |

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I see the 4-white-pane icon (start button) for Windows 10 after I exit, but clicking it does nothing. Right-clicking it gives me a white-text-on-dark-gray menu of about a dozen options, from "Programs and Features" to "Desktop." |

It appears your start menu is broken. Many people have reported problems with the Windows 10 start menu. If you log out, does it fix itself? |

It is unlikely your problem is related to Classic Shell then. You can of course try uninstalling it. The settings will be preserved if you later wish to install it again. |

Yes, I think that you are right. I did not realize that the Windows 10 Start Menu had been breaking for people. I tried the PowerShell recommendation here, to no avail: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windo ... u-3623893/ I needed the original Windows 10 Start Menu only to pin from there to the Taskbar the Recycle-Bin icon (it won't pin directly from the Desktop — or Classic Shell — to the Taskbar). Is there another way? |
