Is there a way to have the menu open automatically when the desktop opens instead of having to manually click on the Start button?

Create a shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe" -open


Copy-paste it in the Startup folder. (C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup).

Update. The shortcut works nicely, the menu opens, but --alas!-- it only remains open for about two seconds then closes. I have scoured the settings but am unable to find a solution to get it to remain open.

The menu will close if another window is activated. So that means another window gets activated by some other startup program.

Yes at startup, the other apps that load often steal focus when they load and cause it to close.

Many thanks for the response and technical savvy! I will investigate.
