Yes , Windows replaced the grub bootloader with their own (windows) loader and now (I assume) you boot directly to windows.

This is a common issue and the solution is easy and automatically

Boot from a LiveCD/Usb (whatever you have) of Ubuntu. At the "Try Ubuntu" session open a terminal with [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[t] keys combo and apply the bellow commands (copy-paste from here) one at time (you must have active Internet connection)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

At the opened window click on [Recommended Repair] and when finish , reboot and you will be fine.
