Can you relaunch it, do a clean. Then, share the logfile shown at reboot.

It didn't crash, so the log you are asking for is not there. Here is the scan log though.

Can you share the scan logfile?

Then, can you relaunch AdwCleaner, click on Tools -> Options and tick "Debug" in "Mode" section.

Do a scan and a clean, the crash should still occur. Simply exit the freezed window. Then, host the file "C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_Debug.log" on https://up2sha.re/ and copy/paste here the generated link.

What does this mean? I don't wish to remove/delete it as it sounds ominous.

I'm under the impression my machine has a virus. Less than 30 minutes ago, windows were opening and closing themselves simultaneously to the point of me rebooting.

I'm a bit stumped on this one. The Task is LaunchApp and I've tried and tried to to remove it with Adwclearner, but a rescan always finds it and the log does not give me a location. It's a Windows 10 Machine.  I see nothing odd in Task Scheduler.
