W10 64-bit installing 32-bit software by default?
Hi there,
I have upgraded my W7 64-bit to W10-64bit some time ago and been testing W10 since then.
I had some random crashes and BSODs which I could not find the reason why as my W7 was running pristine.
Last week I had a crash for Visual Basic C++ Runtime Error and the file that crashed was my Chrome. Looking on Task Manager I then realised that not only my Chrome but all my other software installed are running on 32-bit versions.
I have then manually uninstalled chrome and downloaded the 64-bit version manually and installed and now it shows normal (no more 32-bit in between brackets) and I no longer get the pop up crash.
I wonder why is W10 installing 32-bit software by default if my OS is 64-bit? Will I have to manually uninstall every single software and force a manual installation of 64-bit? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks
Liana
