It is NOT recommended to use manual mode and create a separate EFI partition
when installing on a dual-boot UEFI system. Doing this is almost certainly
why you were unable to boot back into Windows until you installed rEFInd.

I have corrected this wiki page to try to make it clearer that manual
partitioning, and creating an Ubuntu-specific EFI boot partition, is neither
required nor recommended.
