how to get app insights working with serilog?

I'm not seeing any logging going into my application insights instance.

I have a windows service with an older version of .net core.

I have added these two libraries:

dotnet add package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore
dotnet add package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WorkerService

I updated appsettings.json:

{
  "ApplicationInsights": {
    "ConnectionString": "InstrumentationKey=<Your_Instrumentation_Key>;IngestionEndpoint=https://<Your_Region>.applicationinsights.azure.com/"
  }
}

For program.cs I've added these lines

I've also added this package

dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights

and added this also in program.cs

I do not see any logging going into my app insights instance in the azure portal; however, when I log onto the windows service machine and look at logs, I'm getting logs:

What am I doing wrong? How do I get app insights working on a windows service alongside serilog?

If it is not possible to use serilog and app insights together, I'd love to just throw serilog out and only keep app insights.

I have used below code in my Program.cs and it worked :

 var rithapp = "Application";
 var rith_constr = "InstrumentationKey=b7a45ed9=fb6;IngestionEndpoint=https://canadacentral-1.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/;LiveEndpoint=https://canadacentral.livediagnostics.monitor.azure.com/;ApplicationId=5aa2ed1aa";

 Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
     .Enrich.FromLogContext()
     .Enrich.WithProperty("ApplicationName", rithapp)
     .WriteTo.ApplicationInsights(rith_constr, new TraceTelemetryConverter()) 
     .CreateLogger();

 Log.Information("Hello Rithwik, Windows Running");

Packages:

System.ServiceProcess
Serilog
Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.TelemetryConverters

Output:
