Not if you separate into two EFI partitions and set Linux one in your UEFI boot options. Windows only gets access when grub hands over boot to windows via a chainloader entry, windows only knows about its EFI. I have run it 8 years like this...after dealing with windows killing my first shared EFI.

Too much hassle, would never recommend that for beginners

That's a fair point. And probably true on many distros.
