Have you always had Combofix installed where MSE would run normally ?
Combofix is a very powerful program and shouldn't really be used without supervision - it has been known to take out system files.
I would get rid of Combofix and just stay with MBAM for a scanner - I assume you are using the free version of MBAM ?
-
Yes, it was necessary run combofix;
downloaded this tool;
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-microsoft-security-essentials-with-fix-mse-utility
after re-installing MSE, this program says MSE is not installed;
-
So did this problem exist before running that tool ?
-
Don't need invent problems
-
I'm just trying to get some history on this.

Did find that;

Download latest MSE engines;

Those registry entries are meaningless to me as I don't have anything to compare them with.
Event Viewer may be a better source of info.
What I'd like to know is if you downloaded anything immediately prior to this problem - that's what I mean by history - how and when did it occur.

Rick:
I don't want to hijack your thread. I only want to emphasize what Boggin has already advised you: don't use Combofix unless it is absolutely required, and then only under supervision. Please see this link (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/273628/combofix-usage-questions-help-look-here/#entry1511502) for more information about the dangers of running Combofix, which is no longer being maintained.
I am a Malware Response Instructor over at Bleeping Computer. I have seen computers damaged, and, in all of the computers that I have disinfected from malware, I have never found it necessary to run Combofix. It is a very powerful program, and now that is not being maintained, the more recent Windows updates for Windows 7 and before (it is not compatible for Windows 8 and 10) could cause all kinds of unanticipated problems. I am suspicious that Combofix might have caused your issues.
You could always open a topic at Bleeping Computer in the Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Logs Forum (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/f/22/virus-trojan-spyware-and-malware-removal-logs/) and request that your computer be checked for malware. Please follow the instructions in this topic (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/34773/preparation-guide-for-use-before-using-malware-removal-tools-and-requesting-help/) before posting there.
If you do decide to seek help, please let Boggin know that you have gone there for assistance.
Have a great day, and good luck with getting your MSE working again.
Regards,
-Phil
