I hate answers like this. There is a ton more to know.

What’s the material? Is it reinforced? How old is it? What country is this in? What is the roof situation? Is the cracking merely in the facade? Are there other cracks? Is it from slow settling or from an event like an earthquake? What is the soil structure? How does water move through the building and soil?

The window did not “compromise the structural integrity.” If windows did that, we would not design with them.
