Where do I find the error files/ how do I get my Warcraft installation to generate some?

In my ongoing crash saga with my project, after years of troubleshooting, truning triggers on and off, removing custom models, finding that for months I can gets versions of my map with no issues only for me to hit a crashing streak again, one thing I wanna do (again) is check error logs. Except my version doesn't seem to generate them anymore, the last error files I find in the folder are from 2018 (the last crash happened last night).
Is there any way to make warcraft generate those files again?

EDIT: NEVERMIND. I keep doing that thing where I sortof figure it out once but only once I actually wrote a question about it. Rubber Ducky principle, I guess.
If you are curious, in my case I merely discovered that the file was saved in a different folder than expected. I got 2 warcraft versions installed and somehow the errors got funneled to the other one.

EDIT-EDIT: While I have your attention, though, here is the latest file I found.

Unfortunately, I had no neat repeating code like "A066" from the tutorial. I am still trying to puzzle it out, I see no clear pattern just several different things, but if anyone has an idea, it would be much appreciated.
