Why is Windows force-feeding me scheduled installations even though Windows Update is disabled?

Without warning, always at late night, Windows will try to drill a hole into my SSD by driving it to 100%. Windows Module Installer Worker will hog all the SSD to itself and put the computer to a halt. I have disabled Windows Update, but my latest visit to services.msc told me Windows doesn't care, it will run whatever it wants to. Am I working on something? Not anymore! Time to go for a walk while Windows decreases considerably my drive's lifetime expectancy. Do I need to save a document? Uh-uh! The program doesn't answer me anymore. Would I like to silence a video in another tab? NO! TURN THE SPEAKER OFF IF YOU WISH, FOR I, WINDOWS, OWN YOUR COMPUTER NOW! F#CK YOU, USER! THIS MACHINE IS MINE!!!!

I think I'm moving the PC out of my bedroom, lest it tries to murder me while I sleep.

(Good thing I'm too poor to cross paths with Bill Gates. Good for him, I mean.)

Game was fine. Few minutes later, I run it and it freezes to the point Windows asks if it should terminate it.

I don't even know how to describe it properly. Game was running fine, no crashes, no performance issues. Closed it, did some tiling and then ran it again. Blank screen. I tried a couple more times, game runs but freezes. I then replace the project with its last backup copy, which worked fine. It doesn't run fine anymore. Blank screens, hangups, Windows says it's not responding and asks to terminate it.

I haven't updated GameMaker. (IDE v. 2024.14.222, Runtime 2024.14.4.268) Cleaning cache makes no difference.

EDIT: The hangups grew shorter and I replaced the project once more. It went back to normal. I have no idea WTH was that. I looked at the task manager for background processes and didn't find anything unusual.

I wish to use 3BP fan art in a video. However I can't easily find credits for most images. In which websites am I more likely to find the names of the authors of those images? I don't want to use their work without a shout out.
