There are two possible locations depending on whether iTunes was installed from an exe obtained from apple.com or via the Microsoft Store. Did you check both alternatives?

How odd. Under Edit > Preferences > Devices does iTunes list a completed backup?

Not sure.

If the "two alternatives" are:

Search bar, enter %appdata%. If you don’t see your backups, enter %USERPROFILE%.

Looking for: "Apple" or "Apple Computer" > MobileSync > Backup

Then YES
