Windows error stop 0x7b

It's been working great for 4 years now, but within a few days of an automatic Windows Update that installed KB update, the machine would not start Windows, instead going into a continuous restart loop.

During days of troubleshooting, I found some KB articles on editing the registry to disable auto-restart since the Windows boot option screen didn't work for this and enable me to get a BSOD and saw the same STOP error code in this thread. It is very suspicious to me that my machine went thru an automatic Windows Update, KB, which updated the OS kernel ntoskrnl. I don't know how to uninstall that update, as the directions I've found online here and MS KB articles don't work due to non-existence of required files on my machine.
