Try to add these lines into squid.conf

refresh_pattern -i v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/.*\.(cab|exe) 4320 100% 43200 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern -i windowsupdate.com/.*\.(cab|exe) 4320 100% 43200 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern -i download.microsoft.com/.*\.(cab|exe) 4320 100% 43200 reload-into-ims
