Please be more specific. Do the windows go down from their respective window control?? If the do then you may have a faulty master switch or faulty wiring damaging the master switch.

most of the time driver side windows switch be the first switch to wear out.try removing window switch work switch while moving the wires see if window try to go up, if yes, window switch broken.if switch not broken check see if power going to window motor when you work the switch you need a test light or digital volt meter to check to see if power going to power window motor.if power going to power window motor, either window binding or power window motor faulty. make sure driver side window master switch not locked out.if no make sure all the other power windows work if not you have blowed fuse.
If the switch is a all in one meaning the lock switch is integrated in with the Windows switch. Problem is not a fuse could be a defective switch or something wrong with window system
There's a couple of things you can check right off the bat if you're sure the fuse hasn't blown.
The first thing I would check is the window lock switch. Most cars have a window lock switch near the driver's master controls for all the windows. This switch can accidentally get turned on, locking all the windows from operating.
It that's not it, have all the windows stopped working or is it just one window? If it's all of the windows that have stopped working, chances are, not all of the motors have failed at the same time. That would mean that it's most likely the driver's master window switch that has failed.
YEP MAIN FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BLOWS IT WILL STOP POWER WINDOWS FROM WORKING.ALSO IF THE POWER WINDOW LOCK OUT SWITCH IS ON POSITION ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MASTER SWITCH THAT WILL ALSO STOP POWER WINDOWS FROM WORKING.
Likely a bad master switch (the main window switch located in the driver's door). All other switches seek ground through the master switch so the effect quite often is the master switch can cause loss of window power on other doors. Given that the driver's window has also now quit makes this switch even more suspect.

I've seen this lots on these cars- had it happen to me a couple of times.
You should make sure that all fuses are in good electrical shape (not just visual- use a test light and make sure you have power on both sides of the fuse with the key on) and that you have power going to the master switch in the driver's door- one should be hot at all times and one will be hot only with the key in the ON position.
If these check out, you most likely need a master switch (driver's door).
do the other window switches operate?
