    I installed Unity and downloaded the tutorials. Clicked start on one of them and a project was created (I think, at least I saw things happening).

    After some time I got the Unity windows up. But, I did not see any further information so I tried to figure out what to do and noticed the "Show Tutorial Instructions" under the Tutorial option. But, when I selected it, nothing appeared. So, I tried some options under the "Help" option but none of them worked either. I could not get to this forum for example from that "Help" menu.

    It is as if Unity is not in contact with some resources needed for these options.

    I did have problems downloading the tutorials. That was not for some reason possible until I turned off the firewall. But having the firewall turned off does not help here with the menu options.

    What is going on, why does not the options under "Tutorial" and "Help" work here? It feels pretty strange.

    How, can I turn this on so I can start running the tutorials?

    The tutorials are all here:

    https://unity3d.com/learn

    There are also lots of tutorials by helpful people on YouTube, in my opinion often more useful and more up to date than the official tutorials. I have used Unity for years and was not aware they were supposed to be viewable from the editor, and don't have it up to check, but I'd say don't bother. Just go to the above link.

    The documentation you can get to above, but you can go directly to it here:

    Manual

    Scripting API

    Have to imagine you're referring to the Interactive Tutorials that were made available with Unity 2017.3 and are known to have problems with newer releases of Unity. If you want to continue using them you are going to have to download Unity 2017.3.

    That said there is nothing in the Interactive Tutorials that isn't likewise covered by the links provided by @Joe-Censored and for the most part the tutorials he's linked to are known to work with Unity 2018. At most you might run into single lines of code that are off or needing to click a different part of a menu.
