can't start PathOfExile_64bit.exe it forces 32bit

didn't play poe for about 5 months and reinstalled the whole system recently,did i make a bad instalation or did something change with game files in that time?
before it always showed 64bit in task manager,if i right click the desktop shortcut and click show file location it directs to the 32bit.exe
going in the game folder and startign the 64bit.exe still starts the 32bit one.
my problem is,i want to run the game in 64 bit.

32 bit support have been removed now and that's why file names have changed.
There is ONLY a 64 bit version of the game, so all is running as it should.

thank you for that... seems logical to remove the 32 bit support, you should not even try to start this game on a 32 bit sistem.
i realised this when i used rivatuner statistics server(a program to monitor pc components) you can ad the executables for wich aplications it works on and i added as always the 64bit exe from the folder and was wondering why it doesn't display the on screen statistics,than i tried the normal .exe and it worked wich made me think i for some reason am runing 32 bit.
i think dx11 does not even run 32 bit.
i reinstalled everything because i managed to gift my self an rtx 3070 :)
sold my 1070 for allot and added some money to get the 3070.
i know it's a bad time to buy a new gpu but it was the best time to sell my old one.
