rEFInd won't load at boot time

I successfully installed rEFInd in Windows 10 in my IdeaPad Flex 5. But it won't work in my desktop pc also with Windows 10. Both devices dual-boot with Pop! OS.
I disabled Fast Boot in my desktop just in case to no avail. I believe Secure Boot is also disabled.
I am able to call the UEFI menu, but rEFInd won't succeed to load.

I just checked and the refind.config file is inside the S:EFI/refind/refind

I can't recall where I've got these instructions to install it in Windows, but these are the steps:

1. Get rEFInd.
2. Expand the ZIP file, and copy the resulting folder to C:
3. Open Command Prompt Admin
4. Enter command line: Mountvol S: /S
5. In the same terminal move two levels up to C: (cd..)
6. xcopy /E refind-bin-0.13.2 S:\efi\refind\
7. S:
8. cd EFI\refind\refind
9. rename refind.conf-sample
   Enter command line: refind.conf-sample refind.config
10. Enter command line:
    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path\EFI\refind\refind\refind_x64.efi
11. Done!

Like I said, that's exactly what I did before for the laptop, and other desktop pc without a problem. This desktop pc still does have the necessary files in the right place, and still won't work.

Additionally, I just opened bcdedit in the Command Prompt Terminal and it does show that the REFIND_X64.EFI file is in its correct path: \EFI\REFIND\REFIND\

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated

Multiboot Win8.1, Win10 and Kubuntu using rEFInd

Hello, everyone.

I would like to install Win8.1 (80GB) + Win10 (300GB) + Kubuntu (100GB), all in the same drive and using rEFInd as boot manager.

I read a lot about diskpart, DISM and rEFInd but I'm still not confident to perform the installation.

Can someone describe the step by step to deploy this setup using diskpart and DISM?

Thanks in advance.
