Is there a 64-bit version of SyMenu planned for release?

Nope. I'm curious about your request. Why do you need it? Maybe you have a memory problem with your SyMenu? Or for some other reason?

It would be convenient for the user to integrate the most used Windows utilities and commands into SyMenu. SyMenu offers a formidable collection of free programs but there are problems launching some Windows x64 utilities and commands.
Examples: ------------------------------------------ powershell.exe msconfig.exe OptionalFeatures.exe SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe ------------------------------------------ chkdsk /f /r dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow ------------------------------------------

This is a new one but there is an easy workaround.
If I understand well, your problem is that from a 32 bit shell Windows launches 32 bit executables. But this is not an intrinsic limit of the 32 bit shell, it's only a problem in the resolution of the executable path.
Let's take the first one: powershell.
In SyMenu configuration create a program element (not a Windows command one). In the path field write: powershell.exe Execute it In the opened shell write: [Environment]::Is64BitProcess It replies False because your PS is the 32 bit version.
Now do again all the previous steps but in the path field write: %SystemRoot%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe It's the x64 version of PS. Now write the usual command: [Environment]::Is64BitProcess and you get True.
Does this workaround solve your issues?
