Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can not reproduce your issue. Default Windows 11 Start menu does open when I try it. Refer to my short Gif below.

Woud like to recommend to try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you.

Yeah I was just about to say I've since attempted on another machine, very similar config, and can't reproduce there either.
Although, I note the icon is different on the machine that works...

So yeah a thorough uninstall might do it.
Not sure when I'll get around to that, I'll post results if/when I do.
