    So I've installed rEFInd and got it to work with a nice theme and all, only problem is that Windows appears twice

    Both entries seem to load bootmgfw.efi twice, and can't figure out how to make it appear only once

    I would appreciate some help!

    These are all the efi files on my partition:
    ./Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
    ./Microsoft/Boot/bootmgr.efi
    ./Microsoft/Boot/memtest.efi
    ./Boot/bootx64.efi
    ./refind/refind_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/btrfs_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/ext2_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/ext4_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/hfs_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/iso9660_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/ntfs_x64.efi
    ./refind/drivers_x64/reiserfs_x64.efi
    ./refind/tools_x64/gptsync_x64.efi

    There are two instances on Windows. The Normal and the Fallback. Do you also see a Fallback instance. Are three or two?

    I added and Black PNG icon for the Fallback. And made the Normal one Blue.

    I managed to fix it somehow, I hid the bootmgr which made the fallback icon appear, it did in fact have a different png then reading trough the documentation I could somewhat figure out how to hide the icons I just also had the \ backwards. which is why the don-t scan wans't working
    here is how I got rid of them
    dont_scan_files /EFI/Microsoft/boot/bootmgr.efi, /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi

      Personally I'd want both on my menu. Normal and Fallback.

      I Norm Win, Grub, Fallback Win then, Acronis, Estub Ubuntu

      Memtest86+ and uefi, and few more
