Recently rEFInd has been hanging during boot and I'm unable to boot into Arch. rEFInd just sits on the screen that says:
rEFInd - Booting OS
Starting vmlinuz-linux
Using load options 'ro root=UUID=01c7ec7c-1990-4792-9fb3-f01b260a4cb9 initrd=\initramfs-linux.imgI updated my system on Feb 22nd. I believe I've restarted without issue after that, however I'm not certain. Also I'm still able to boot into Windows 10 through rEFInd.
I realized I did forget to rerun refind-install after updating and so I booted using a recovery USB and ran it. My /boot/EFI/Boot is :

I checked with last reboot against my Arch paritions /var/log/wtmp file and confirmed I was able to boot after the update.
I looked on the Windows side and it seems an update was installed after that boot and since then I'm having the issue with rEFInd hanging. I understand that there can be issues with boot coups but that doesn't seem to be the issue here as rEFInd is still the default and appears to load fine.
Is it possible the Windows update caused some other issue?

I was finally able to boot again after using a live usb to run an update so it seems the issue wasn't with rEFInd
I'm still curious as to what the issue was given I'd been able to boot since my last update, if anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it. Here's what was updated:

I'm having trouble with libepoxy...you might try to downgrade that back to 1.4.3
