DeviceCPU returning Unknown for 32-bit IE on 64 bit OS about yauaa HOT 3 CLOSED

I updated the DeviceCPU.
I'm thinking about what to do with the Agent Architecture thing.

I have chosen to ignore the application architecture for the simple reason that I do not see any useful applications of such a field and it seems to be available in only a very limited number of situations.

So, for your information the primary use case is this:

• By default, on a 64-bit Windows machine (e.g. Windows 7), when Internet Explorer 11 (the latest/last version of IE, as you know) is started it is in 32 bit mode.
• If the user has turned on 'Enable Enhanced Protected Mode' in IE's advanced internet options, then after a restart IE 11 will be in 64 bit mode. (A similar thing exists for Window 8.1, but I think an additional property needs to be set. I image the same is true for IE 11 on Windows 10, although I haven't tested it).

Historically at least, the 32-bit version of IE has a higher level compatibility especially with add-ons . I guess it's still the case, as it's the default mode for IE 11. The 64-bit mode provides greater access to memory, and apparently is more secure.

I think with Edge, you get the 64-bit version of the browser if you're on a 64-bit machine, and the 32-bit version only if you're on a 32-bit machine.
