Docker Desktop Log Location (not Containers)

I am getting the following error when I start Docker Desktop:

Docker failed to initialize Docker Desktop is shutting down

I am trying to get some more info on what went wrong, but all googling for log locations is leading me to C:\ProgramData\Docker\containers. That location is for specific containers, not for Docker Desktop in general.

Where does Docker Desktop keep logs about its startup issues?

docker-desktop docker

Turns out the logs are here:

C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Docker\log\host

and here:

C:\Users\18773\AppData\Local\Docker

This issue had to do with the proxy settings in settings.json found here:

C:\Users\18773\AppData\Roaming\Docker

I deleted all the lines (4 or 5 of them) that had the word "Proxy" in it and then docker started up. Details found here: https://forums.docker.com/t/docker-failed-to-initialize/111341/17
