I noticed a neighbor in an apartment complex always has all 4 windows down half way. When inquiring she said they are broken and won’t move. She is in poor health and low on money. The car i believe is the latest model of focus but it’s a few years old at least. Is there anything i could easily check. Obviously the fuses. Does anyone know how many fuses there are and where they are located. Also possibly the window switch on drivers door is bad? Would that cause all windows you not work even from other switches?
Late model Ford Focus all windows stuck down.

I'm adding this story to my long list of reasons to hate power windows.
Try the actual door switches too. My 07 Focus had issues with the drivers controls for the other windows, but the passenger controls still worked fine.
Also you can hold on to the top of the window and rock it side to side to get it up if its just a sticky track.

Late model vehicles (depending on how late), the widows work through a body control module, which in most cases, isn't an easy check.
However, fuse or circuit breaker is as good a place as any to look. The next place to look is, how to by-pass the master switch and see if the windows operate.

There's a fuse box in the trunk on the driver side. It will be behind a cheap cardboard/carpet rectangular access "door." Fuse F6 and F7 here are for the windows. Fuse F4 and F5 are also for the door switch/window assembly thingy so you could check those out at the same time. All 4 are 25amp.
I'd plug FORScan in and try for bidirectional controls
My passenger rear window is stuck down. 2021. Ford’s solution was disconnect and tape it up. I added the crash wrap as the packing tape wasn’t going to hold. Quality is Job #1
In all my years of driving, I've had one power window break...and it was in a Ford! 2005 F-150, washed it and went in the house to get cleaned up. Came back out and the driver's window was down! I said there's no way I left that window down. Hop in, hit the up button and nothing but a fast click. $99 at Autozone for a regulator and an hour of my time and it was back in business. Oddly, the new regulator was wired backwards so up was down and down was up, luckily the pins popped right out of the connector and I was able to reverse them easily.
You must not keep your vehicles very long! they have cheap plastic parts in them that break every time! In the 4 vehicles that I maintain, I've replaced 5 window regulators, with at least 3 more considered to be questionable. Vehicle brands include GM, Toyota, and Dodge (the Dodge probably also has wiring issues, because Dodge). My Fords I've never had to do this, yet, but most of them have had manual crank windows that never break.
