That’s not a released version. If you go to “About,” what version does it list?

I suspect the issue is with networking. There are some known bugs with accessing HTTPS on Windows.

You can also go to Build => Insert => Fragment and search:

glucose
glucose458×441 46.5 KB

You’ll need to decide if you want the straight chain, furanose, or pyranose form.

It’s v1.91.0

Build|Insert does not offer Fragment. Under Build|Insert there are two options: SMILES and InChi. Selecting either of these does not lead to “carohydrates”

Should I try these operations in a Linux environment? Is Windows not supported?

You’re using a release that is about 5.5 years old. You can download the latest release at https://two.avogadro.cc/ or from:
