Are you asking about Windows or VS? Your last sentence asks about Windows,
so I am confused.

I am not aware of anything in the Windows operating system that does
explicitly what you are asking. In fact, I am not aware of anything in the
Windows operating system that recognizes "the Windows standard"; as far as
Windows is concerned, I am not aware of any such thing as an end-of-line.
