Process Explorer stack/thread info for 32 bit apps on 64 bit Windows

Question

Currently, it appears that Process Explorer only shows the 64 bit stub layer of Wow64 when a process being inspected for stacks or thread names . It would be really nice if there was a way to make it automatically use the 32 dbghelp.dll (or some sophisticated cross bitness feature) to show useful information for 32 bit processes.

This limitation has been seen with both the Win11-bundled dbghelp.dll in %SysRoot%\system32 and an out-of-sandbox copy of the dbg tools App download. (https://aka.ms/windbg/download ).

Implementation hint: If all else fails, do the data collection of stacks and symbols by using a private interprocess mechanism to the 32 bit procexp.exe, with some smarts to automatically derive the 32 bit dbghelp.dll path from the 64 bit path.
