Your use case

(This is the wrong template but this is neither an enhancement nor a bug)

I'm surprised we're still building for ia32, given it's extremely ancient at this point. Windows 10 virtually stopped supporting it mid-cycle. I'm wondering if at this point it could be phased out of Element's builds without much backlash.

Thoughts?

Have you considered any alternatives?

No response

Additional context

Looks like Windows <10 was already stopped by us (#808), so really this only supports the microscopic 32 bit Win 10 population.
