    Classic Shell Start Menu not Working


    So about an hour ago I was searching up "how to make windows 10 feel more like windows 7" and one of the guides told me to create a shortcut with the classic personalization window. When I opened it, I proceeded to click the "synchronized theme" which changed my desktop background. I then clicked the default windows theme which resetted my dark mode and the start menu. I had the Windows 7 start menu designated in Classic Shell and it worked with no problems whatsoever but it seems that whatever I clicked in the personalization window removed my ability to edit the start menu, which was one of the main reasons I installed Classic Shell in the first place. I don't know how to fix this and I need help, please and thank you. I have the latest Windows 10 version.

    I am running Classic Shell 4.3.1 with no problems. You can get a newer version of Open Shell at the link below:

    GitHub - Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu: Classic Shell Reborn.

    The link below will describe how to use it.

    Downloading Open Shell did not work. No matter if I choose a skin or not, or what start menu style I choose, it still looks like thisClassic Shell Start Menu not Working-untitled.png

    That is the standard Windows Start Menu, with no tiles yet. It is not Classic Shell or Open Shell. I'm assuming you setting up and then pressing the Windows Key, and you are getting that. You have to tell Classic Shell or Open what keys to recognize to open THEIR menu.

    This page of the settings.
