A boot menu in Windows 7 showing options to start Ubuntu, which was added by the Wubi installer. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows the user to run Linux.

Windows operating systems will be found by properly installed Linux bootloaders, but Windows boot managers do not recognize Linux installations (nor does Windows deal natively with Linux file systems).
systemd-boot is a free and open-source boot manager created by obsoleting the gummiboot project and merging it into systemd in May 2015.

The Windows installer uses this so it boots from BOOT.WIM, and then uses INSTALL.WIM as the collection of the Windows files to be installed. Also, Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) uses the same, being a base for separate-boot versions of some antivirus and backup/disaster recovery software.
