No A technical definition requires minerals to be crystalline. Glass is an amorphous solid, meaning the molecules that make up glass are held together by intermolecular forces (as opposed to a substance in a liquid or gaseous state), but are not arranged in crystals (the molecules do not contain a long range order).
Window glass is made with sand that is melted and added to soda ash and limestone.

The glass in a window is basically silicon dioxide, and the mineral silica (or silica sand) is where we get that. (There's a lot of sand around!) The frame could be wood, but if it was aluminium, we'd need the rock bauxite, which is the primary ore of aluminum.
