Default Intermittent window not working issue

Hey everyone!
I have a 2012 f150 with the 5.0l. I’ve been having an intermittent window issue ever since I owned the truck in December. Basically the windows won’t work and I’ll restart the truck and they will work fine. And only the fronts do it, back windows always work. It’s a crew cab. I have checked the wiring in the door jams and no broken wires. The other research I’ve done says bcm so replaced and programmed a used bcm and still happens. I don’t think it’s a window motor issue because they work perfectly fine when they are working. Any one else have this? Or any input on what to check next would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone

When they're acting up do the door locks in front work?

Locks always seems to work. One and a while they stick a bit from the actuators. Replaced the one back actuator so far and it’s smoothed out. Still gotta do the other doors when I have time. But yep the power locks work when I have the issue

Someone should be along to help out. is there anything else that doesn't work during this bad window time? Also, there is a procedure somewhere I've read that talks about recalibrating the windows. Might try that when they are working.

These trucks were notorious for bad master switches.
