All always_direct does it making Squid ignore any cache_peers you may have. If you don't have any cache_peer then it's a no-operation thing as going direct is then the only option Squid has.. So if using always_direct did make any difference then you have a cache_peer which doesn't work with windows update, or otherwise it just started to work by accident.

Re: [squid-users] Squid and Windows Update - SOLVED!!
Hi Henrik, It's cured. You were right about allowing access to winupdate. The confusing aspect is that some time back, we had to wrestle for a day to get it working after Windows updated itself. It turned out that you had to use the always_direct directive to get it work as it would crash out otherwise. Don't know what Microsoft have done to Windows Update but it now has to go back to http_allow. Thanks again, much appreciated, All the best, Julian Pilfold-Bagwell
