Stuck Window

New to me F-32...
I have spent about a total of 4 hours on this boat and most of that cleaning it out and preparing for winter.
When I was there last I tried all the windows in the salon. They all slide open and closed rather easily except the one at the helm. It took quite a bit of force to get it to move.
I had a similar issues with my old boat that ended up being water ingress in the lower sill and swelled the underlying structure. I am hoping this one is not that severe. I intend to clean out the channels on my next visit, but I would like to check in to see if there is a common issue with the window slides. Search results did not turn up much.
