Broken uPVC window handle

Hi all,
I feel a bit silly, but I really can't understand how to fix our ensuite window's handle. The two springs have come off and now they can't seem to want to stay in - every time we close the window, they just... spring out. Any help please?

Just swop it for a new one, less than £10 Screwfix/toolstation etc
Remove the plastic cover on the left hand side covering the screw, turn the handle up and you can access the other screw. 10 minute job.0 -
Is the window closing properly as well? It might have come out because of additional pressure if its losing its shape and beginning to warp0

As plumb1 said undo first screw lift handle as you would to open/unlock window. Undo second screw replace in reverse. Screwfix or eurocell or any upvc window stockist will sell them & they are cheap, just measure the length of the shaft as some are longer than others. The little plastic caps should just pop out with a screwdriver.

right hand offset . just replace it . lift handle and undo the hidden screw first . close window and pop the cover off then do that one . ( its easier than doing it open )
