SFC: amd64/x86 winsxs comsvcs.dll's corrupted

I confirm even though errors were detected, the hash of C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comsvcs.dll is the same as it was prior to the cbs errors.
 
The hash under C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-c..fe-catsrvut-comsvcs_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.24114_none_75531e0e173e0ef2\comsvcs.dll is the same as the file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comsvcs.dll
 
[sorry I did not see your post before I posted this]

Is sfc /scannow is comparing the wrong hash?

Here is a comparison of the store version with what is in the windows folder

Sfc /scannow detected errors, here is the file. All hashes of files you provided are now exactly the same as those in the store. However, the hash of c:\windows\syswow64\comsvcs.dll does not match those in the store. I'm surprised windows sfc did not detect this difference. Shall I copy the files over manually?

Actually, the file in c:\windows\syswow64\comsvcs.dll has changed its hash, for the first time in months, after I did what you said, to yet a new hash, that does not match that which you have given to me.
 
OH never mind i confused the 32 bit with 64 bit file hash. My mistake. Correct I followed your instructions exactly.
 
The hashes of the files you have given me have replaced the previous hashes that were previously in the store. Suggesting they copied successfully.
 
OMG I was right, i was not confusing the 64 bit file with the 32 bit file; What I had previously stated was factual: "Actually, the file in c:\windows\syswow64\comsvcs.dll has changed its hash, for the first time in months, after I did what you said, to yet a new hash, that does not match that which you have given to me."
