Microsft recently made this statement regarding the use of IE10 64Bit:

On 64-bit Windows 8, the browser frame process (both “modern UI” and Desktop) runs 64-bit. However, for compatibility with plug-ins, IE 10 on the desktop runs 32-bit tabs by default. If the user turns on “Enhanced Protected Mode” in Internet Options, Advanced; they will have 64-bit tabs by default for IE 10 on the Desktop.

Much thanks to Neowin.net.

Microsoft's statement regarding the use of IE10 64-bit on Windows 8 explains that by default, Internet Explorer 10 on the desktop runs 32-bit tabs for compatibility with plugins. However, users can enable 64-bit tabs by default by turning on "Enhanced Protected Mode" in Internet Options. This setting is found in the Advanced settings.

To enable 64-bit IE10 for the desktop in Windows 8, follow these steps:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner to open the Tools menu.
3. Select "Internet Options."
4. In the Internet Options window, go to the "Advanced" tab.
5. Scroll down to the "Security" section.
6. Check the box next to "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode."
7. Click on "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

Enabling this setting will ensure that IE10 on the desktop runs 64-bit tabs by default. This can improve performance and security for the browser.
