Windows 10: My windows 10 64-bit is installing programs and drivers as 32-bit

I have been facing some different BDOS's, these are listed below.

IRQL_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KMODE_EXECPETION_NOT_HANDLED
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

So far i have troubleshooted my cpu and motherboard, by switching. Also i have have done a memtest on the ram.

I suspect the issue is a driver install identifier, which misidentifies my system as a 32-bit, when installing drivers and programs.









And my OS is a 64-bit version, and my cpu is x64 based.



The BSOD's seem to be random, they occur while idle and during browser usage.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Windows 10 64 bit to 32 bit

Hi Ajay,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I would like to inform that 64 bit Operating system can run 32 bit programs but, 32 bit Operating system cannot run 64 bit programs. So I suggest you to stay on the 64 bit Operating system which can run both 32 bit and 64 bit programs. If you want to install
a32 bit Operating system, you need to create an ISO media using the Media Creation Tool and install from the installation media.
