Steps to reproduce the issue
Set up a multilevel menu
Create a menu module with a modified start level to remove the 1st level menu item
Expected result
The first level menu should be removed. In my case it was an alias so I can use the secondary menu but maintain the URL structure.
Actual result
Nothing. the menu actually dissapears

Additional comments
This has been an issue since Joomla 2.5 and has been previously reported on the old tracker
I discovered some solutions to this isssue on a joomla forum https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=687090
A workaround has been provided by toxicman666 back in 2012 in modules/mod_menu/helper.php line 69 he commented out the line
|| ($start > 1 && !in_array($item->tree[$start - 2], $path)))Which works for me. there is also another solution made 2 years later which does not work. where abother guy has modified the if statement. I think it is just the last line again that has been altered by cMagnafico
if (($start && $start > $item->level)
|| ($end && $item->level > $end)
|| (!$showAll && $item->level > 1 && !in_array($item->parent_id, $path))
|| ($start>1 && !in_array($path[0],$item->tree)) )Tar

@brianteeman sorry for the delay I had to take a chimney down.
Module menu parent as a real menu
I had checked to see if using an alias as a parent affected this but I did not put that in the ticket above. I have redone the menu but using a single article as the parent in the module menu and this arrangement still does not work. The whole menu dissapears.
Using the real menu item of the alias as a base
I dont understand what this function is for (possibly menu visibility?). I
This arrangement does not work either. I have also tried any combination of start level and end level and unless start level is 1 the menu will not display
Thank you for raising this issue.
Joomla 3 is now in security only mode with no further bug fixes or new features.
This issue has been resolved in Joomla 4 with #38563 and it will now been closed.

I believe the problem is that you have chosen "current" and an alias is not the current. What happens if you select the real menu item as the bas
