  • How do you update the system report?

    From Robert Peirce@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 13 19:11:06 2019
    I'm looking for 32bit apps. When I remove them they still stay ion the
    list, even if I reboot. How do I force an update?

    Are you talking about the Legacy Software list?

    If there is a way to remove "stale" items from that list, then I haven't
    found it, nor has anyone else I've checked who might have written about
    a solution online.

    A better solution is third party software:

    https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/index.html

    This one will actually search your computer for 32-bit software,
    including 32-bit components buried inside 64-bit applications, and it
    can search for non-applications.

    It therefore does even more than System Information's "Applications"
    list, which only lets you spot 32-bit applications, not other categories
    nor buried components.

    Thanks. I downloaded it.
