Recently installed Win10 pro 64x. I installed AutoRun64 and I was surprised on how many registry missing/pointing to files that were missing. ie syswow64. Also missing 32bit files.

I have no idea how many are really important that need to be corrected. I was hoping for little feedback to see what other people find and what they thought was important to correct.

Thanks. (*wanted to keep it short)
Is there a registry program that could find the files and fix the registry with broken pointers?

Could be because 32bit & 64bit registry items are in different places

On 64-bit Windows, portions of the registry entries are stored separately for 32-bit application and 64-bit applications and mapped into separate logical registry views using the registry redirector and registry reflection, because the 64-bit version of an application may use different registry keys and values than the 32-bit version. There are also shared registry keys that are not redirected or reflected.

MS Link

though I don't know where they would be hiding. I try to leave the registry alone

WoW64 stands for Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit. It might be located in the same place as the 32bit registry items

It could be by design and if win 10 is working fine now, I wouldn't worry about it unless 32bit programs don't work.
