Original Note:
This is not a window against the pressurised compartment of the capsule it is just a protective cover for the window which is removed before the launch. Here Boeing confirms it was a protective cover and you can see the cover in more detail. https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/37495/20220505/boeing-starliner-s-capsule-s-window-pops-off-as-it-finally-meets-ula-atlas-rocket-in-launch-pad-look.htm
