Right click the Start button -> Settings. Check "Show all settings". On the Controls tab, set "Left click opens" to Classic Start Menu. There, you can also set what Shift+click opens, what Windows key opens and so on. Make sure that ClassicStartMenu.exe is running when your computer starts, otherwise it means Classic Shell is not starting correctly.
There is an option 'Start automatically for this user' on the General Behavior tab of Start Menu Settings to launch the Start Menu when Windows boots. Make sure that it is checked.
If ClassicStartMenu.exe is not running as per Task Manager, then it means the Start Menu isn't running at all. Then run C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe to manually start it. You can put a shortcut to this EXE in C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to load it when Windows boots.
