Has anyone utilized Logger.exe or API Monitor?

I am searching for a Windows alternative to the Linux strace command, which logs system calls made by an executable. While Process Monitor is available on Windows, it lacks the ability to specifically monitor a single program and is more focused on I/O operations. I have heard about Logger.exe, which is said to be similar to strace and part of WinDbg or Windows SDK. However, I have not been able to locate Logger.exe despite installing both tools, since I lack the necessary permissions to view certain folders. Additionally, there is API Monitor, which appears to be a suitable alternative, but the latest version dates back to 2013, making me hesitant due to its age. Are there any other suggestions for a Windows equivalent of the Linux strace command?
