sounds like some moisture is sitting underneath the part that holds the glass. Try spraying with tilex or a bleach and water solution to kill the mildew. Then let dry and seal with clear silicone.

Mildew or mold due to excessive moisture in air, you need to install exhaust fan in your room
Get rid all mold on the window glass and the wall and installed propositional fan or air circulation in the room.

i am a service engineer and have been for 20 years, youir problem is condesation, the black mold is bacteria, you need to vent the room of moist air, the usual rooms to suffer are bedrooms , kitchens, bathrooms, but not exclusivly, you need a circulation of air, go to www.ggf.co.uk i know its a uk site , because i am in the uk,
the average human breathes out 3 pints of moisture in the course of a night and this moist air will ffind the coldest spot, many things cause condensation, ie house plants, cooking, gas appliances. remove the condensation, and you will remove the mold.

Contact the company who installed them and explain that you have defective, leaking windows, and schedule a time for them to come out and replace the windows with non-defective windows. The manufacturer of the windows will compensate you for the new windows and will compensate the intaller for time spent on the job. If you replaced them yourself, bring the defective windows back to where you purchased them. They will gladly exchange them for new ones. Good luck! Ciao!

It's not the window, it's the house. You have to much humidity in the house. You should have between 35 and forty percent for winter time use. Or, your air circulation. If you move your air slowly, it might do the trick.

There should be insulation in all the spaces between the rough opening and the installed window.And what they said up there.
