The module doesn't seem to do anything when combined with Drupal 8.4
Ran into this issue on a new website running Drupal 8.4.0 and tested and confirmed it on a clean Drupal 8.4.2 install.

Checked both the console log and site recent log messages, nothing is showing up.

It's working fine here on Drupal 8.4.2...

You don't say exactly what you were expecting it to do, but bear in mind that currently the module has no effect on existing menu blocks (see #2787677: Reconfigure core menu blocks to be menu_block blocks)

If you use 'Place block' at /admin/structure/block to create a fresh instance of the menu though, some additional options should become available.

Does that help?

Thanks, removing and re-adding the block works!

Maybe this could be added on the module page or somewhere, because this was not clear to me at all and I did try to find installation instructions.

I think Drupal adds the menu_block by default, so it's already there (seemingly not working) for new installations.

I also ran into this today. Spend an hour trying to make it work before finding grahamC's solution (thanks!). I agree that it would be a good idea to state on the Menu Blocks page that it only works for newly-placed menu blocks.

Please add installation instructions so new users know that they should remove the existing default block before this module will work.

Patch for the readme.txt

Would also be great to add this information on the module page:

Drupal core's Place Block module was deprecated in 8.8.0-beta1 and removed in 9.0.0. Attached is an updated patch.
