Windows Print Spooler

Where Windows Print Spooler keeps its logs

Windows Print Spooler logs to %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-PrintService%4Operational.evtx on Windows.

Paths are printed exactly as Windows Print Spooler 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.
