WebBrowser Control not showing PDF anymore

Googled really much on this issue, but didnt find any related problems.

I wrote a Browser with WinForms and the webbrowser control and since a week ago the Browser is showing a little Icon on the top left corner with an "x" in it instead of PDF File on every Website.

Dont know why, cause it worked fine for a couple of months.

Also tried to change back to the IE9 Engine by setting the registry entries, cause i thought about some IE Updates. But didnt work.

Any suggestions?

Found the source of the problem. The trick is to build a x86 application. If you set any cpu or x64 platform in your build settings, this little box with the "x" will show up when you try to view PDFs.

But really dont know why this happens and why he can find addons from IE in the webbrowser control, cause i didnt use any one of them in my code and im also not using any dlls for this. And why IE is showing PDFs without Addons activated.

But its working again now.
