I applied the Microsoft-supplied registry hack to enable Windows
Update to apply SP3 RC2. Yesterday morning, Update had downloaded the
SP3 "fix". I installed it, and upon restarting, the machine went into
a restart loop.
Windows recognized that it hadn't successfully shut down previously
and gave me a screen to select whether to do a safe startup or
continue. I continued a couple of times, which resulted in an almost
immediate restart each time. Finally, I chose Safe Mode, and Windows
prompted me to do a restore to a previous checkpoint. I chose the day
before, and everything came up properly.
Needless to say, I'll let others do further experiments on SP3.
FWIW
YMMV
