I have to be honest but this is going to be quite difficult to understand your use case without further analysis and understanding of your Cato configuration regarding how you are identifying this high load of Windows Update traffic and how you have configured your rules to block this traffic.
As I am from the support team, I would suggest to raise a support ticket with my team, so we can review your configuration and confirm that indeed traffic should be blocked as expected, and further understand why Windows Update traffic is still being allowed if not matching your block rule
What I can suggest as a workaround in the meantime is ensuring that you disable Windows Updates on your machines (if feasible via a GPO from your AD or Azure AD configuration).
To add further, I would check your INET Firewall stack configuration as it works in a top - down order, please see this KB here regarding our best practices:
