Right after starting the car, the windows, climate control and radio stopped working.  
The car seems to run fine except for these issues.  
Happened once before about a month ago, but fixed itself in about 5 minutes.

If your car has a conventional ignition/starter switch where you acttivate the starter by turning the key to the “start” position and then release it when the engine fires" the problem may be in the switch. When you turn the key over to start, all the circuits except the starter motor, ignition, and fuel injection system are deactivated. When you release the key to the run position it is supposed to energize the accessory circuits–radio, power windows, etc. My guess is that the ignition switch is defective.
