Sometimes I would like to open more than one thing from the Windows Start menu including multiple items from the recent jump list. When I click on something the Start menu disappears and I have to open it again and move the mouse cursor as necessary but this could be avoided if it were possible to hold the Start menu open. Is that possible?
I don't think there is any way you can "freeze" the Start menu list, but you could right click on the items you want from the Start menu & pin them to the Task Bar. The Start menu will remain open while you do the pinning to the Task Bar.
As far as I know their is not a way of doing what you request.
It would be very handy if their was.

Yes absolutely it is possible. Open the start menu and go to the program that you want. Hold down the "Shift" key and run the program. "Do Not Let Go Of The Shift Key" Now open another program, and another. As long as you hold the Shift key down the menu will remain open.
Hi,
Go to your documents... folder change the sorting and select as many as you want too to open at the same time... :)
Yes, I am holding down the Shift key as you have described & the Start menu still disappears immediately after clicking on one program.
Hi,
Funny I did it and the file opened behind my browser window :)
Start menu still closed though but normally the file would open on top not behind
