Hi saloon,

were these the only anomalies?

first reset all circuits and PCM by disconnecting your fully charged battery for 5 mins by disconnecting minus

then reconnect and see if pattern repeats itself OR any other anomalies

try and raise each window and hold for 10 secs to confirm endposition

if so check big connector with clip on front of fusebox; release/inspect pins/reconnect & make sure it goes home all the way. Do not force!

if no success disconnect/check/clean/reconnect all coloured connectors on bottom of same fusebox but from interior footwell looking upward (need long arms and a torch or a stick a small dig camera in set on flash and macro to observe area.)

Let us know how you go!

If not been used 3 months, speshly this time of year that's plenty of time to accumulate massive condensation in various places, which is probs messing about with things.

Could try leaving a mains powered fan heater on the back seat for a day, see if that improves things. (?)
