Windows 7 fails to start after downloading and installing 122 updates. I accidentally hibernated during installation. It starts normally, then blue screens and blacks out. Safe mode(2 times, it acts the same as a normal startup), system restore(2 times), last known good configuration and startup repair(4 times), all don't work. "A patch is preventing the system form starting" seems to be the problem. Also, an unspecified error occurred during system restore (0x8000ffff) that prevented it from completing successfully.
The laptop in question is a 2012 era Asus A43E that has hardly been used and is practically new, hence the 122 updates. It has 4GB of ram, and an Intel pentium core. I was fixing it up for a close friend, and prior to the failing, I installed malware bytes and the Adobe PDF reader. I also gave him about 40 movies, but that was to his (D: ) drive, whereas the OS is located in the (C: ) drive, and uninstalled some bloatware (stuff like norton (I am confident that I did not uninstall something important)). I don't know if any of this extra information will help, but I am completely stumped.
Any and all help is appreciated.
