startxwin.bat was honorably retired in xinit 1.2.0-2 [1],[2],[3], so there is no 'standard one' for you to copy anymore. If you inspect the start menu shortcut which xinit creates, you will see that it uses run to invoke bash -l -c to run startxwin.exe, which starts XWin with -multiwindow and any specified options and the clients in ~/.startxwinrc I know that sequence works for me to start XWin with no unneeded command windows. If it doesn't work for you, then that would be a bug in something.
