I do my front windows in the afternoon/evening, the sun has been on them otherwise and the glass is warm so more likely to streak, my patio doors get done in the morning when they are in the shade!

If you are cleaning your windows inside and out. Clean outside up and down. Inside left to right. That way you will know what side to clean if a few streaks are left.

I found a make your own on Pinterest— better then any I ever used. I added essence drops for smell. Cornstarch makes the difference I think. Use a lint free cloth no streaks amazing. (1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol, 2tblspons of cornstarch and 2 cups of water. Essence oil if desired. Put in empty clean spray bottle and shake. I am amazed and will never buy the store made glass cleaners again. It’s actually fun doing mirrors and windows and no streaks. alcohol evaporates.

Rubbing alcohol is fantastic but in short supply at the minute. It's in most cleaning wipes for glasses

Nothing beats washing up liquid then dry with newspaper, mine come up crystal clear, not a streak in sight, so much so you wouldn't think there was glass there!

No chemical sprays for Windows, they leave smears with the build up, good old fashion washing up liquid in a dish with hot water , just wash with s sponge or cloth then wipe water off if u have a squeegee, dry with a cotton t towel or kitchen roll I will guarantee u won't have streaks x
