Something worth checking out.

I've used it on my systems without any ill effect.

Always willing to try tweaks to speed up this 'elephant' Win 10
Interestingly, I tried your link Bob while on Secureline Server Seattle and got a page stating "Access Denied", disconnected from Secureline, and no problem reaching the article.
Have applied the Reg tweak to OS's

Yes, and incidentally one of the reasons I follow interesting (to me) Topics here on the forum is for the many pieces of 'knowledge nuggets' by other experienced Techies/Avast users. :)

RIP: Microsoft to drop support for Windows 10 on 32-bit systems
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/rip-microsoft-to-drop-support-for-windows-10-on-32-bit-systems/
Again, another Misleading Headline.
Microsoft states that starting with Windows 10 2004, new OEM computers will be required to use 64-bit builds of the operating system.
Microsoft states that they will are still committed to supporting users running older hardware and will continue to make 32-bit media available in non-OEM channels.
I just recently updated my remaining 32 bit Dell to version 2004 without any problems.
The only thing this effects are OEM versions. I don't know of any new computers that you can currently buy that are 32 bit architecture.

Well I haven't got v2004 yet, but it was fine on 1909, as far as I can tell.  I haven't bumped into any issues mentioned in the article.

New Windows 10 Intel microcodes released in forced KB4497165 update
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-10-intel-microcodes-released-in-forced-kb4497165-update/
I haven't see this update on v 2004.
Isn't the update service there to update your system? What's bleepingcomputers complaint?
Again, using a headline to spread misleading or sensationalizing a benign event.

It wasn't installed or even sitting waiting to be installed on 1909, until I checked for updates and then it started the install.

So I will shortly be restarting.
