Runner and Worker's Diagnostic Logs

If applicable, add relevant diagnostic log information. Logs are located in the runner's _diag folder. The runner logs are prefixed with Runner_ and the worker logs are prefixed with Worker_. Each job run correlates to a worker log. All sensitive information should already be masked out, but please double-check before pasting here.

To access an environment variable under Windows runners, you must use $Env:ENV_VARIABLE. The Github documentation is confusing about this for Windows.

Try using echo "key=value" >> $Env:GITHUB_ENV.
