I also checked the file structure of the ISO, there is a bootmgr.efi file and a efi folder on it.

Is there any way to make this ISO UEFI-bootable so it works for Ventoy? Or maybe to rewrite the Rufus-USB into a UEFI-bootable ISO?

Is the bootx64.efi file present in the efi\boot folder?

It is not... There isn't even a efi\boot folder, but a W:\efi\microsoft\boot folder with a file named cdboot.efi

Thanks, I'll still have to try this.

Try it:
the file bootmgfw.efi can be extracted from a x64 Windows 7 DVD: It is located in the 2.7 GB archive Install.wim in the subdirectory \sources. The archive can be opened with the free 7-Zip packing program, for example. The file you are looking for is then located in subdirectory "1" of the archive, under \sources\install.wim\1\Windows\Boot\EFI\.
Create the folder boot in the folder efi and copy the bootmgfw.efi into this folder. rename bootmgfw.efi to bootx64.efi.
