What does the compiler log say?
Does it claim about $StartMenuGroup?
Have you declared the variable $StartMenuGroup?

yes StartMenuGroup is declared and the compiler says nothing. i can compile and test it, but no entry will be writen. All other entry are writen, but only this one, which will be written by the Page, is not written.

If you're facing difficulties with this, I'd suggest copy/paste the code from the included example StartMenu.nsi.

i test it with the original example, by using copy and past from NSIS\Examples\UltraModernUI\StartMenu.nsi, and ther is no entry in the registry.

no error with the compiler, i dont konw what is wrong.

edit:

Var STARTMENU_FOLDER
;Start Menu Folder Page Configuration
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT "HKLM"
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY "Software\UltraModernUI Test"
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "Start Menu Folder"

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $STARTMENU_FOLDER

What about the part within the section:

!insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN Application
...
...
!insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_END

you mean this?

!insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN Application
    
    ;Create shortcuts
    CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER"
    CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\Uninstall.lnk" "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"
  
  !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_END
