Windows 10: windows downloading both 32 bit and 64 bit updates for a 64 bit system

My HP Pavilion g7 is a 64 bit system and somehow Windows update is downloading both 32 bit updates and 64 bit updates, which sometimes seems to hang up the loading process ??? can I stop the 32 bit downloads as I probably don't need them? How?

:)

 

windows updates 32-bit and 64-bit hotfixs installed, I have a 64-bit system.

I have reset my laptop which has the windows 10 home edition. While updating I have notice the windows updates have accumulated and installed a lot 32-bit updates with some 64-bit updates. I have a 64-bit system.

My question, does the 32-bit updates affect my 64-bit system?

If so should I uninstall the 32-bit updates?

Why is window automatic updates recommending 32-bit when I have a 64-bit system?

thanks
