I'm not aware of any sorry. With Squid-3 this might work (warning theory
only at present):

   acl windowsUpdate dstdomain .windowsupdate.com ....
   request_header_access Accept-Ranges deny windowsUpdate

In theory at least, that strips away the ability of WU to get ranges of
data.

Caveats,
   Squid might end up sending the whole object back. Under
range_offset_limit it fetches that whole thing and sends just the
requested range back. I'm not sure how WU software deals with full-data
responses to range requests.
