When getting the status of the IBM Q Experience's devices in Windows 7, we get an error with the following stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\AlbertFrisch\.vscode\extensions\ibm-research.ibm-q-studio-0.2.2\resources\qiskitScripts\listRemoteBackends.py", line 83, in <module>

  File "c:\Users\AlbertFrisch\.vscode\extensions\ibm-research.ibm-q-studio-0.2.2\resources\qiskitScripts\listRemoteBackends.py", line 54, in main
    statusDevices = list(p.map(createDeviceStatus, backs))
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\pool.py", line 266, in map
    return self._map_async(func, iterable, mapstar, chunksize).get()
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\pool.py", line 644, in get
    raise self._value
LookupError: backend "ibmq_16_rueschlikon" not found.

Steps to reproduce the problem

To don't get the error and get the visualization of the devices' status

Suggested solutions

Replace the current pool.map method by other that works smoother in Windows
