Windows, Unix, and older Mac OSs use different line endings. (Newer MacOS uses the Unix convention).
Windows uses CR/LF, Unix uses only LF.
Visual Studio is telling you it found messed up line endings on your file, indicating it was probably edited on different operating systems, and has fixed them all for you to be consistent. If you’re getting that message more than once per file, then you have to stop whatever is causing the line endings to get borked in the first place, which is most likely not Visual Studio but some other editor.
