Sql-server – sqlserver 2008r2 service pack incompletely applied on shared features

sql serversql-server-2008-r2

I have installed sqlserver 2008R2 service pack 3 on my instance.

The installation went through successfully but the instance still shows version number of SP1 in management studio.

When I start the patch setup again, I see that the main database features are patched correctly but that the shared features are "incompletely applied"

Can someone explain me what to do with this ?

Would a reboot help ?

After running an instance repair, the correct version number is now being displayed.

The shared features are still incompletely installed but at least querying the @@version view will now return the correct patch level.
