If you installed the windows slave as a service you should not need to manually launch the jnlp client. When you log off/on the server, can you see that the jenkins slave service is actually started via the services.msc? Also, from task manager you should see jenkins-slave.exe as well as a java.exe running without having launched the jnlp client. The jenkins-slave.exe is the windows service process, but it launches java.exe with your jnlp connection information. It's the java.exe process that communicates with your jenkins server.
