Windows 10: How to restore original Windows Boot Manager path?

I had installed rEFInd, and as you may know, one has to change the boot manager path to point to rEFInd: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\refind\refind\refind_x64.efi But for some reason that pc would not use this while booting. I finally got it working by installing rEFInd via Linux. So I figured I should probably set the boot manager the way it was. According to the location of the bootmgr.efi file location, setting it back should have worked with this command and path: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgr.efi But bcdedit says: "The set command specified is not valid.Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.The parameter is incorrect." I also tried: "bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} path" bcdedit responded with the same as above. Any help will be greatly appreciated, DPC
