I just ran
C:\Windows\system32>TRACERT.EXE 8.8.8.8
From my older Windows8 box and got this:
So it works for me on my Windows platform. Why doesn't it work for you? Sharing your capture file would be a big help but anyway, some possible causes:
*You have mis-identified the traffic: i.e. the traffic that you think is coming from tracert is not correct. Maybe the wrong display filter; maybe capturing on the wrong interface; maybe...
*Your Wireshark decoders are not configured correctly so they show the wrong type
*You are not using the Windows version of tracert.exe, but a third party tool that can use UDP and/or TCP and the transport layer port is decoded by Wireshark as skype (https://www.netscantools.com/nstpro_traceroute.html)
*You have a different version of Windows than I do and it does not use ICMP, but rather UDP and/or TCP which Wireshark decodes as skype
