You will probably have to do them 2 or even 3 times
On the first pass scrub the frames really well with a high flow some might go milky and alot of the flakey paint will come away on the second pass just clean them normally then go round and check them if they have dried you will be able to see any dodgy windows just redo those ones
After that they should be a breeze to do

flaking paint is an issue with painted frames however you clean them, wfp/trad.

Just need to rinse well with wfp to flush the flakes away.
