What services are greyed out?  Windows updates typically don’t do this, there is something else triggering the problem.

Windows Defender will be disabled if you have installed a 3rd party anti virus.
What AV do you have?

You should find out, what really grayed out your security services. Make sure you launch services seetings as admin, before uninstallation, for example.
The uninstalation itself could be done from old control panel.

Then, when the update is gone, you can disable its installation with WUShowHide, you can download the tool here at MajorGeeks, for example.
