I am using for an alternative to OpenGrok. I can't configure it properly. What I want is to browse to the code, like I would be in Visual Studio. I'd like to have a menu with a minimum option of Go To Definition, find references etc. How can that be achieved ?

I suggest to have a look at the Woboq Code Browser.
It works like a compile step and dynamically analyzes the code and how symbols are linked to each other.

Did you have problems configuring it on Windows?
OpenGrok works best through a web-server. You might find it easier to rent some cheap VPS box, and configure OpenGrok remotely on such server (instead of trying to configure it locally on a Windows box), and then use your web-browser to access the remotely-running OpenGrok instance through the web-interface.
I've once tried using OpenGrok locally on a Windows machine, and even though it worked, I was not happy that the non-web version didn't have any syntax highlighting, and was overall just way too awkward to be of any real use.

There's Text-Sherlock. And the github project. It can use either Whoosh or Xapian as its backend.

I would recommend Codatlas. It has features such as jump-to-definition and cross-reference and poly-glot support such as C/C++, Java, Python, Scala etc.
