winload.exe ay ang boot loader ng Windows Vista operating system. Ito ay tinatawag nangWindows Boot Manager para ma-karga ang operating system kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) at (boot-class) device drivers,^[1] and is in that respect functionally equivalent to (the operating system loader functionality of)NTLDR sa mga ibang bersyon ng Windows NT.
