What is the solution in windows?

Use the same approach, but use os.devnull which is the portable solution. On Windows this will send the output to NUL.

In fact, this solution is already recommended in the question you linked to:

with open(os.devnull, 'w') as tempf:
    proc = Popen(cmd, stdout=tempf, stderr=tempf)
    proc.communicate()
