Is there anything I can do to improve this situation? Like have someone go underneath the bay windows from outside and inject insulation in there? Could it be the attic has zero insulation where the bay extrudes from the house?
New windows in entire house, insulation (styrofoam beads) blown into attic, heat ducts cleaned regularly

I’m assuming the bay is at floor level and full height? Depending on the era of the house you and any other information I’d guess you only have an insulation batt between the floor joists. At minimum you’d want to replace the batt with a higher R value, and add a few inches of rigid insulation under it.
