After I updated Win10 (Anniversary Update) and installed (successfully) Classic Shell 4.3.0, I can get it running anymore: it seems the Classic Start Menu is blocked somehow and then it restarts again, and it goes like this forever... I've saved some logging using ClassicShellUtility in case somebody can find the issue by inspecting it:

Use the Classic Shell Utility to save a system log file. Send it to me.

Classic Shell does not seem to be installed at all.

Indeed, now it isn't installed because I could not use the taskbar when it was installed: the start menu kept switching because classic style and win10 style endlessly. I can re-install it though and send you again the system log (or other logging) if that helps.

Yes the Utility log needs to be generated when it is installed.

Also try this, Fix Classic Shell on Windows 10 Anniversary Update: http://winaero.com/blog/fix-classic-she ... ry-update/

I've tried to remove Classic Shell using ClassicShell Utility and re-installed again, but I have the same issue.
Here is the system log with Classic Shell installed.

It looks like you have McAfee installed. It may be blocking the Start menu since it injects its DLL into Explorer.exe. See if you can find a way to whitelist Classic Shell's files at C:\Program Files\Classic Shell in McAfee's settings. Or temporarily disable it and see if you can get the Start menu working.

It wasn't the antivirus. I've managed to solve it by looking into the Event viewer and noticing errors related to IDTNC64.cpl. After a quick search on Google I found that this file can cause Explorer to crash on Win10. I renamed it to IDTNC64.cpl.bak as suggested on another forum and then I installed Classic Shell: the issue is gone, now everything works properly!
