Hi,

How does Windows manage to *use* three addresses? I can understand how
the rfc7217 address and the privacy address can be use for different
purposes, but what do they use the EUI-64 address for?

Windows doesn't use/create a third EUI-64 address. By default it only creates that "kind-of random, kind-of stable" 
address (unrelated to RFC 2117) and a temporary address. No EUI-64 address (by default).
It *can* create, by a specific setting, an EUI-64 address but that would replace the above mentioned 1st 
(non-temporary) one.

best
