I want to burn an ISO to a flash drive on Windows. I know that this is possible using software like balenaEtcher, but I was wondering if Windows had a build-in tool.

Probably not native. The issue is that a native Windows tool may not fully copy all bootable partitions and sectors onto the burned filesystem media.

If you run into USB-burned images that don't work on Windows, many people use Rufus.

That is what I used the very first time I installed Manjaro when I only had Windows on my machine to start with.

After that, I always used the Linux command line with this:

sudo dd bs=4M if=my_linux_dl_image.iso of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync status=progress
  • sdX is the USB device found with lsblk
  • my_linux_dl_image.iso is the Linux .iso image you downloaded
