on Windows as is, you'll have to remove the 2>/dev/null

On Windows the equivalent of the Unix /dev/null device, the "bit bucket", is the "file" called NUL. Note one 'L'. 2>NUL is same as 2>/dev/null on Unix.

The case of the name NUL can be anything, nUl, etc. This name is reserved by Windows in all directories - you cannot make a file called NUL. ">type NUL" prints nothing instead of printing "file not found".
