*32 Suffix in Task Manager

If you’re observing a “*32” suffix next to every application name in Task Manager on a 64-bit system and experiencing functionality issues, it could indicate underlying problems with your system’s configuration or potential malware remnants. This guide will help you understand the implications of these observations and suggest steps to ensure your system is clean and fully functional.

What Does “*32” Mean in Task Manager?

The “*32” suffix next to a process name in Task Manager indicates that the process is running under Windows’ 32-bit subsystem on a 64-bit operating system. This is normal for applications that are not designed to run natively in a 64-bit environment. However, if you notice that every process is running as 32-bit, it might suggest an issue with the system’s ability to execute 64-bit applications properly.

Potential Issues and Troubleshooting Steps

1. Scan for Malware: Given your history with malware, first conduct a thorough scan using a reliable antivirus tool like Gridinsoft Anti-Malware. Ensure it’s updated to the latest version to detect and effectively remove potential threats.
2. System File Check: Run the System File Checker to repair potentially corrupted or missing system files. Open Command Prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow then press Enter.
3. Check for Windows Updates: Outdated systems may lack critical updates that can cause operational issues. Check for and install any pending updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
4. Verify System Integrity: Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to repair the Windows system image and Windows Component Store. Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth from an elevated Command Prompt.
5. Reinstall 64-bit Applications: If specific 64-bit applications are not running, try reinstalling them to ensure they are correctly configured for your system.
6. Create a New User Profile: Sometimes, user profile corruption can cause unusual system behavior. Create a new user account and check if the issue persists.
