The Classic Start Menu replaces Windows 7 start menu by default After Classic Shell is installed, if during the installation process you selected the feature to allow Classic Start Menu, your Windows 7 start menu should have already been replaced by the classic start menu.

Screenshot below is how my start menu looks like after installing Classic Shell. The Classic Start Menu is highly customizable. You can see the customizable features are so rich. Let the Classic Explorer show up For Classic Explorer, it's not automatically enabled and displayed by default. This is because Classic Explorer is installed as a toolbar onto the Windows 7's Windows Explorer, so you have to manually make this toolbar show up.

To do this, go to Control Panel and select Folder Options. Below are some extra settings that are recommended. You should immediately notice that the Windows Explorer menu bar is displayed.

Or you can click on the menu bar and select Classic Explorer Bar, which is just above "the Lock the toolbars". When the Classic Explorer is displayed for the first time, it's located at the upper-right corner of the Windows Explorer window.

You can even drag a button to create a sub-menu of another button. I suspect the issues are related. I have a serious amount of lag when clicking the start menu. Additionally I have noticed that if I click the start menu in tablet mode after clicking away from it there is a sheen of black over the desktop.

At this point desktop icons cant be interacted with. The only work around I have found is to go the taskbar, right click and choose "Show Desktop". Then I am able to select and double click on the icons once again. In my new user accounts and existed accounts, there is no such issue, so I suspect this is related to the user profile, I would like to confirm if this issue occurs in your new accounts.
