>Only available on x64 Windows and captures tracing info only for 64-bit processes

Does that include Wow64[0]?

As far as I know wow64 exists to run 32-bit processes on 64-bit Windows, so given their statement I would assume no.

WOW64 is a 64-bit "wrapper" for 32-bit processes. You can see this when you debug a WOW64 process in WinDbg[0]; so, the system is agnostic about it's "bitness" because it "appears" to be an x64 process but it's really 32-bit, just wrapped. Thus, the posit. :)
