For "automated" Windows updates, I've used [1] before. I haven't used it in some time though, but it looks like they've made it compatible with Windows 8 since I last used it. I didn't check the current pricing for it either, when I last used it, it was a free application. Some other options from googling are AutoPatcher [2] and ABC-Update [3].
As these are command line applications, you should be able to run them from a Jenkins job without any problems. The only issue will be the reboot, which will possibly cause the run to fail.
