Drywall cracking around every window

Recently moved into a new home, where the previous owners had a undergone a full renovation. I have noticed similar type cracks around every window. Some windows, this is just at the bottom, others is all the way around the window. Do I need to be concerns that the window is not installed correctly? If the windows are likely OK, is this a matter of digging out the crack all the way around and filling with mud, sand and paint, or should I be using paper tape as well? Anything else I'm missing? submitted by /u/JamusBoJangles [link] [comments]
