The biblical idiom “windows/floodgates of heaven” is contextually multivalent: Genesis uses heavenly openings in the Flood judgment, whereas Malachi 3 uses opened heavenly windows for abundant blessing.

Context control: The recurring idiom concerns an opening from heaven; its positive or negative effect is supplied by the passage.
