Windows Update Error (Status: 0xc0000225)

Hi. I'm requesting help for my Dad, please.

He was downloading Windows Updates for Windows 7 when he encountered a black screen (pic attached, my apologies for photo quality).

Status: 0xc0000225

Is there any chance he can he fix this? We both have limited computer knowledge.
He has no discs, other than possibly a couple of "Recovery Disks"???
He was unable to enter into Safe Mode.

Side Note:
He's able to access a rarely used, outdated, "Ubuntu" system on the same computer for internet access.

Thank you.

You can download a Windows 7 ISO. Right click the ISO, burn it to a DVD and use it to repair the missing boot files on his computer.

Just be sure you download the proper bit (32 or 64) and Home Premium or Pro.

Once he repairs Win 7, he won't have access to Ubuntu so he'll have to either reinstall a newer version or install the same version over the top of what he has now.

Ubuntu will control the boot menu.

 

Thank you for your reply.
Before I read your post, Dad has already experimented and tried using his recovery disks. It seems to have worked, so far.
