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.
