The tool "pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX" provided by the MiKTeX build of
TeXworks uses the program "texify.exe" with the argument "--clean"
(among others, see
https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/blob/master/Programs/Editors/TeXworks/source/src/TWApp.cpp#L956).
According to the documentation
(https://docs.miktex.org/manual/texify.html), this "removes all
auxiliary files". I would guess that this includes .log files. Try
running another tool (e.g. pdfLaTeX) instead or removing the --clean
argument (Edit > Preferences... > Typesetting).
