In Shaun's post that's just a InstallDir path misstake, and that's wrong, no question.
In your post you can see that is says that it is the 64 bit executable, with Bit in Chinese.
You could see this in Task Manager where there is no (32 bit) behind it.

Yes, both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome(which I don't have on my computer now) are 32-bit browsers. You can see that Microsoft Edge is stored in program files(x86) folder which is for 32-bit applications.
Note: Only users having 64-bit systems can see program files(x86) folder who have 32-bit applications installed and 32-bit users will only have the program files folder.

TheShaunSaw Sorry, this not correct.
Both Edge and Chrome are available as 32 and 64 bit variants, unfortunately both suffer from bugs in the installer that installs AMD64 variant in x86 programfiles path, really a beginners fault.

Yes, you are correct, Microsoft Edge has both the variants x86 and x64 so I checked through different ways and got that I have Microsoft Edge x64 on my computer so this should be an issue with the installer.
Apologies for the misinformation.
