MSE is NOT on Windows 7. Windows Defender is on Windows 7. You cannot uninstall but you can simply disable its real time protection. Just Google your question and here you go.

You’re welcome.

If you truly had MSE installed then it came via Windows Update. You must have checked it off.

This was a fresh install with auto update still on . I installed it myself so I can’t blame anyone but yours truly.
