Where Windows Admin Center keeps its logs

Windows Admin Center logs to Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > WindowsAdminCenter on Windows. 1 other Windows log location is recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Windows Admin Center writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
