Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. IF you're using Start11v2, You should be able to pin a folder menu which will open as vertical menu. Something like screenshot below.

And should get something like this.

Thank you,

looks like there is no rename in the menu - is there a reason for this?

This is not possible. But, you can always click and drag to arrange it.

Thank you,

Here's how I use this feature:

1) Create a new folder somewhere on your C: drive, and name it appropriately.
2) Change the icon for this folder to what ever you like.
3) Create shortcuts for all the apps, folders, and files you want to include in this menu, and place in the folder created in #1
4) Change the icons for the shortcuts as you like
5) Rename the shortcuts as you like (The items in this folder will be arranged alphabetically, so naming is important to order them the way you like)
6) Now pin this folder to the taskbar as a "Folder menu"
