No they didn't. They came from the Mac:

The Windows standard _was_ Shift-Del to cut, Ctrl-Ins to cut,
Shift-Ins to paste.

Nobody could remember it, including CUA evangelist me -- I had to look
that up -- so they switched to PC-ified Mac standard.

TBH I can't remember when; I am not sure but it might have been in
Windows 3.0, the first release after the divorce from IBM.
