Notepad in Win10 still have issue with linebreaks. For example, when i save a .txt file from Unix systems and I open the file on Windows, it ignores the linebreaks because Notepad can't recognize the LF linebreaks. Notepad only support CRLF linebreaks

It would be great if Microsoft will add CR and LF linebreaks for build-in notepad so we don't have to use extra program called Notepad++ anymore.
