that's because wow64 stands for "windows (32) on windows 64" and system32 kept its name cause it was just too difficult to move from when you run a 32 bit app, its accesses are being secretly redirected to that wow64 directory, and also wow64node in registry. there's also sysnative redirect...

taskmgr from wow64 runs lovely win10 task manager, but its cpu charts won't show up, and one of them will resemble windows 7 one

windows is crazy. on the one hand, their (maybe past) care for backwards compatibility is deeply admirable, on the other hand... wow(64), things are confusing in windows land
