Is VMware Workstation (Windows) 32 or 64 bit ?

I thought VMWare Workstation was 64 bit, however when I look at running processing in task manager it shows "VMWare Workstation (32bit)"

I uninstalled / reinstalled 15.5.7 but it still shows 32 bit

Is it possible to install this as 64 bit ?

The GUI is still a 32-bit application, but the processes running VMs are 64-bit.
