Windows 10: SOLVED: Can't get Open Shell to show Win 7-type Start Menu

I've used Open Shell a few times before, and once I set the Start Menu Style to "Classic style" (one column) and rebooted, I got just what I wanted. But I just finished an in-place repair install and did the same thing again, I simply cannot get the Classic Start Menu. Instead, it shows the extremely unwanted and horrible Metro app style menu. I've reset the settings to the default and then re-enabled the Classic start menu style (with reboot) several times, and it still always shows the Metro crap.
I tried importing my Open Shell settings from a working system, but that didn't work. I also tried Winaero Tweaker v13 and set everything appropriately, and when that didn't work either, I tried importing the Winaero settings from a working system, but that didn't work either!Would you knowledgeable folks please try to help me out? Thanks!

In Win.7 is there a Classic Start Menu/Button

Hi,

I'm on Windows Vista at the moment using Opera Browser and I has the nice Start Menu and i'm wondering if there is a program to add a modified Menu cause Win.7 don't have it. I tried Classic Shell it worked but it isn't like the Original Menu with the Microsoft Logo on the left

I installed Open Shell 4.4.142. No change.

Any other suggestions?

Mouse Hover (under Control Tab) does nothing. I hover over the W10 Start menu icon and nothings happens.

Then I changed all options to Open-Shell Menu. Nothing changes.

I want the W10 start menu icon replaced by the Open Shell menu like it worked for classic shell in W7.
I do not even want to see the W10 start menu.

Any other suggestions?
