At one time I used Classic Shell and then Open Shell but I now prefer the Windows 11 Start. I see no need to add extra bloat.

Have you tried any the other options, like the Windows 7 style, for troubleshooting purposes?
Do you have any other 3rd party apps that control Windows menu's? They may be conflicting.
I would suggest uninstalling Stardock start menu11, Restarting the computer and reinstalling.
If that fails,. post in the Stardock forum for better results

I prefer Open-Shell which can give you the Windows 7 Menu if you like
