Hey To answer your question. you need to manually add the Theme start button.

Right click the start button and choose properties. Then the properties for Start is back will pop up. Choose appearance and like in the picture below you will see the add button. Click add. Here you need to navigate to the theme folder your using. For example if your using HUD Theme. C:/windows/resources/themes/Hud/explorer.exe. Inside the theme folder you will see a folder named explorer.exe this is where the start button should be. usually there is 3.png images in here 6801, 6805 and 6809 If your not using Small taskband choose 6805 and then apply. You should be good to go after that.

and yes windows 8.1.1 is better. Many more themes on here for 8.1.1 and its simply more up to date.
