Try running this. It is called autoruns.

You don't have to install it. Just run it, click on services tab and see if windows defender is listed there, this should at least let you know if the service is still present. Don't uncheck anything in this program unless you know what your doing, in fact before you run it, create a restore point! LOL! This little utility will show you almost everything running. It should look like my attachment. You can also see what drivers are running or not and a whole host of other process's.
