The only thing that is falling on my mind are fuses.Since they are ok then it must be some relay.

Volvo does not specify which relay is for power windows(i doubt there isn't any),but i think that it must be one of these overload relays on these pdf files:

That doesn't track with the problem as stated.
There's one power feed for the window system.
If there was a power supply problem,
none of the windows would work.

This almost has to be the Master switch,
