logs not getting updated when running AEM inside windows

as above.

So it's my first time using Windows as a local development machine. I've always used Macs before my latest role.

When I use the start script (inside /crx-quickstart/bin), it opens up a new cmd.exe window and I can see what's happening in AEM on this cmd.exe window.

But my issue is that none of the files inside /crx-quickstart/log is getting updated.

as an example: if I open up a page for editing, the cmd.exe will be very busy with logging. But if I check the files inside /log, none of them has increased in size.

Any ideas on what's happening?

Thanks
