using TexWorks for over a year without trouble, I have finally
reached an impasse for which I need to view my log files. Luckily,
everyone seems certain that such files will undeniably be in the
same folder as my .tex and .pdf output files. This is untrue.
After over an hour of manual searching through all directories
MiKTeX is sending files to, I cannot find a single .log file, for
any of my .tex files, let alone the one in question. Where are my
.log files?

The tool "<span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds"></span>pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX"
provided by the MiKTeX build of TeXworks uses the program
"texify.exe" with the argument "--clean" (among others, see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/blob/master/Programs/Editors/TeXworks/source/src/TWApp.cpp#L956">https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/blob/master/Programs/Editors/TeXworks/source/src/TWApp.cpp#L956</a>).
</span>According to the documentation
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.miktex.org/manual/texify.html">https://docs.miktex.org/manual/texify.html</a>), 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).<br>
