@vineetsingh065 As short term solution on windows, you can resolve by below codes.

import subprocess as sp
self._appium_Service.start(stdout=sp.DEVNULL)

I could resolve below functional test case by above codes, but if you cannot resolve in your case, please let me know.

@ki4070ma Thanks mate, for know this solution is working fine on windows, can you please tell me is there any alternate for sp.DEVNULL in MacOS x or this will work on both platform, untill concrete solution gets available.
