always_direct has little or no effect on things. 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.
