So you would like to explain a few million gamers how to disable auto-update from Windows and that they have to update their machines then manually every few weeks? ;-)
The only working solution could be that fast-download works without any manual work from a gamer. I'm quiet sure that MS will not provide any fix through auto-update that it works again, so valve is responsible for a solution.
