NixOS using systemd-boot instead of grub, although it is disabled in nix config file

I've installed NixOS 19 and as I want to dual boot Windows 10, I need to use grub. And this is my bootloader configuration:

  # Boot loader
  boot.loader = {
    systemd-boot.enable = false;
    efi = {
      canTouchEfiVariables = true;
      efiSysMountPoint = "/boot";
    };
    grub = {
      devices = [ "nodev" ];
      enable = true;
      efiSupport = true;
      version = 2;
      useOSProber = true;
    };
  };

Problem is although I have disabled systemd-boot, it still shows systemd-boot and not grub!

When I run sudo nixos-rebuild --install-bootloader swich this is the result:

I needed to switch from Linux-bootloader to NixOS-bootloader in BIOS settings.
