Windows 10: Multiple Instances of Microsoft Edge Update (32 bit) In Task Manager

Hello. I have multiple instances of Microsoft Edge Update appearing in task manager. Most I checked open to its file location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

I couldn't check them all, there's so many. Is this normal?

Windows 8 task manager 32 Bit?

I haven't used Windows 8 so, I don't know if this will work...

To explicitly launch 64-bit task manager, try calling it here:
C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe

32-bit is here:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\taskmgr.exe


Microsoft could have easily goofed and linked to the wrong one.

 

Windows 8 task manager 32 Bit?

The OP says the programs say (32 bit) next to them, when in the old Task Manager they have *32 next to them and probably never noticed.

Oh, I thought it was saying taskmgr.exe *32 in Task Manager. XD

Yeah *32 is absolutely normal to see on 64-bit flavors of Windows. *32 means it is running in Windows (32-bit) On Windows 64-bit. They are being emulated. That's how it should be. *Smile

Most games are still 32-bit so they have more backwards compatibility (that will start to change soon though). Steam is only available in 32-bit as is Origin.
