Windows Defender = antispyware
MSE = antivirus + antispyware.
So think of MSE as Windows Defender with added Antivirus Software. And its free for HOME users
Check this :
Start - type in Search box -> MSCONFIG find at top - Right Click on - RUN AS ADMIN
Startup tab - Uncheck Windows Defender (if listed) and APPLY / OK - REBOOT

If needed after the above :
Do these to clear corruption and repair/replace damaged/missing system files.
Run DiskCleanup - Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup
Start - type in Search box - COMMAND find at top of list - RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN
sfc /scannow
