That's because Windows is the first boot option in your UEFI Boot Order. You need to make rEFInd the first boot option. Go to the Boot Manager page in your laptops setup utility (you called this BIOS) and change the Boot Menu Option order by moving the second line (rEFInd Boot Manager) to the first line. Once you make this change and save the setting, your laptop should now boot into the rEfInd boot menu.

When i try with the refind bootloader it comes to last screenshot and when i select linux it just simply restarts , and i have installed refind from the slackware system athough the files were downloaded from the refind site and not slackbuilds

To confirm, this is 'linux' on the refind screen?

Then: did you put the kernelimage (vmlinuz-4.4) and initrd if you use it (as 'initrd-4.4.gz') into your -- slackware-14.2 folder on your efi partition? Refind needs this to boot. And refind needs the version-nos to associate kernel with initrd.

Your computer probably restarts because there is no kernel to boot. The grub.efi is used when grub does the booting but now you have handed this over to refind. Please re-check my previous post: refind needs to know which partition to boot from (as indicated in the refind.conf also not in your tree as of your earliest post today).

I will look into it and will let u know...maybe that could be the reason, but still I am not able to refind as my default option. the screenshot u saw was when I press F9 and open the boot options in which I can only select but can't change the priority that's why I posted all my bios options screenshot

First, make sure you can boot windows from your rEFInd manual without problem. Then remove the Windows entry in your BIOS's boot option. And you will have eEFInd as the only entry, which will boot it up directly by default.

2nd. You are booting Linux through the grub loader, which will make you in the same condition as before. Try removing grub from the EFI partition, and boot the linux kernel directly.

I have the following setup under the EFI directory:
Code:
EFI/
  |-refind/
  `-slackware64/
        |-  vmlinux-4.4
        `-  refind_linux.conf
Where in refind_linux.conf:
Code:
"Boot with standard options" "root=/dev/sda4 ro video=efifb"
You will need to change the boot option according to your partition and setup.
