I have the same problem: Classic Shell's start menu button won't show up when I log in to my account even when I have chosen it to start automatically from settings. When I manually start Classic Shell the button shows up.
Is there a solution for this?

You need to run the installer again and do a repair: http://www.classicshell.net/faq/#general_win81

And 4.0 has even more support for Win 8.1 right?

After the Repair installation, if the button does not get enabled for some reason, then you can right click on the button -> Settings and check "Replace Start button" on the Start Menu style tab.
