I have two Windows partitions showing on my rEFInd boot selection screen. The "Boot Windows EFI boot from EFI" option boots Windows 10 properly, but the "Boot Windows from Basic data partition" doesn't work. Is the expected behavior and how to I hide the Windows option that doesn't work? Does this have anything to do with EFI and Master Boot Record? Thanks
Additional information: I did use the install.sh shell script to install rEFInd. I'm assuming that means I got the defaults.

How can I go about figuring out which directory is resulting in the boot screen option "Boot Windows from Basic data partition?" When I run diskutil list I get the following:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 500.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage 249.3 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Reserved 16.8 MB disk0s4
5: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 250.1 GB disk0s5
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 249.0 GB disk1
Logical Volume on disk0s2

Booting Windows from EFI is the only option that successfully boots Windows.

You may be able to hide the unwanted option with
dont_scan_volumes
,dont_scan_dirs
, ordont_scan_files

If nothing else is booting from "Basic data partition", I'd suggest this:
Thanks. That worked.
