Software Distribution Service 3.0 is just the name of the program that installs Windows updates. It may install several (up to 30 or more) at one time. If you start getting blue screens after an update make a note of any file name referenced in the stop error and do a wildcard search for the file name in the Windows folder (I.E. search using the file name with a .* at the end instead of the real extension). If you find the file in any of the $NtUninstallKBxxxxxx$ folders then you will have the name of the updates that may be causing your blue screens (the KBxxxxxx part) and you can uninstall them or use system restore to go back to the date before they were installed. Also be sure to run MalwareBytes to make sure you do not have a rootkit that is causing the updates to fail and create the blue screens.
