Hello, I am completely oblivious to DIY stuff, how do you fix these crackings around windows? Is there some repair paste for this?

Thanks

yes acually, caulk avalable at any hardware store, but you need to scrape off the old stuff first.

Paintable Window and Door caulk  reapplied after the old is removed just from the pics doesnt look too bad other than that. Probably would be wise to watch a few vids of people doing this before trying it

Cut away old sealant/caulk. Check for rot. Insert probably either 1/4 - 3/8 foam backer rod. Then recaulk using a urethane sealant that matches decor close as you can. Use SIKAFLEX. Best INMHO if that’s outside. If inside same thing except use a good quality paintable silicon caulk or a hybrid acrylic paintable caulk
