Windows routes through wrong interface

I'm using Windows 10 21H1. There are several networks connected to my machine. I've noticed I cannot ping hosts in 192.168.3.* network. Here's my routing table:

          0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0      192.168.0.1    192.168.0.126     25

        127.0.0.1  255.255.255.255         On-link         127.0.0.1    331

  255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255         On-link     192.168.232.1    291
  255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255         On-link     192.168.117.1    291
  255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255         On-link      192.168.1.80    281

This is the output of tracert -d 192.168.3.19:

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.0.1
  2    33 ms    14 ms    24 ms  192.168.8.1
  3  ^C

As you can see, it's routing through the wrong interface. Why does it happen and how can I fix it?

UPD. I expect it to route the packet directly to 192.168.3.19 because of this line in the routing table:

192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.3.86 281

Doesn't it say "for all nodes of 192.168.3.0 network, route packets to them directly"? 192.168.3.86 is the IP address of my machine.

Is it possible that 192.168.3.86 is down and Dead Gateway Detection feature is enabled on the Windows 10 machine?

No, 192.168.3.86 is my machine's IP.

My bad, got confused. Please update your question with routing behavior you are expecting. Currently I can't see any other routes for 192.168.3.0/24, apart the default one. So it is working as intended

Updated, please take a look. My understanding is that there is a route for 192.168.3.0/24 in the routing table, so the default route should not apply here.

My guess would be the 192.168.8.1 is returned from your default router. Try adding the IPEnableRouter registry value. https://serverfault.com/questions/929081/how-can-i-enable-packet-forwarding-on-windows

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
