Thanks for your replies, I guess I solved my problem however I had to use the shell=True parameter otherwise I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
    output = subprocess.run(['dir'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)
  File "C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 472, in run
    with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:

    startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

The same behavior when using capture_output=true
