    Hi, I used the rEFInd bootloader few months.
    I lately made a change in the refind.conf file and that day the refind displayed the background and got stuck that way;
    I couldn't solve this problem.

    I completely cleaned the EFI system partition and reinstalled the windows bootloader, i am also reset bios settings to defaults. (i disabled secure boot again)

    I downloaded the Refind CD image, i write it to USB pen drive via rufus;

    But when I boot from USB , rEFInd gets stuck in the same way and I can't do anything except force shutting down.

    My laptop has Windows 11 and has EndeavourOS on ext4 partition, rEFInd just was work fine, it just suddenly appear to not work.

    I can rarely able to use refind if i use "Boot From File" option from bios.

    /refind/refind_x64.efi (That option works everytime) (without refind.conf file)

    /refind/refind_aa64.efi
    /refind/refind_ia32.efi
    /EFI/boot/bootia32.efi ------------------------>(That 5 optinon rarely works correctly)
    /EFI/boot/bootaa64.efi
    /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi

    But i cant use if i just boot from "boot menu"
    Here is a log when rEFInd stuck at blank screen;

    I just installed previous version (0.13.1) of refind and it works as expected.
    I dont know what is wrong on latest version.
