Classic shell is abandonware at this time sorry  Even if it wasn't abandoned; Microsoft actually removed the folder from windows, so classic shell would have no way to populate the list of games. |

The closest thing to that would be creating a custom folder, and linking to its contents, then using some outside script to update shortcuts in the folder.
Not something that can be done without decent coding experience. |

Nope sorry, its not something classic shell touches, so my guess is a corrupt windows file?
If a system restart doesnt solve, try opening command prompt as admin, and typing sfc /scannow /f /r
If that fails, your other options are more drastic.. (IE reinstall windows) |

It sounds like your start menu is corrupted, this isnt necessarily caused by classic shell, however classic shell can often mask this issue.
Try opening command prompt (as admin) and typing sfc /scannow /f /r
This should find and replace any corrupted system files and hopefully fix your issue. |
