Why is Microsoft providing wrong codebase updates for an Intel based cpu machine running Microsoft Windows Professional 10 and acting like a virus?

Microsoft Windows Professional 10 was using a 64 bit intel chip was downloading only AMD64 updates. I am still receiving these in reference to 1809 update and have to reboot into safe mode and remove the contents of the directory every time the delay ticker is met to stop a 16 hour update cycle with a 52% install and the a forced return to the previous version as the update is trying to apply AMD code to my windows installation on an Intel 64bit processor. Does anyone have a hack on this ticker to reset it at startup to zero so the delay stays in force?

    amd64 does not only for AMD PROCESSERS.But actually amd64 means its   64bit architecture.

    Don't worry about those updates, windows downloading correct  bit versions

    That patch is correct even with text "amd64", but there is something else wrong with your OS.

    Try to reset Windows Update database.

    Here is instructions and script to reset Windows Update components.

    ALL 64-bit architecture including Intel is called AMD64 because AMD introduced it. It's like calling generic ibuprofen Advil. So those updates are correct for your machine.
