I did turn my firewall off but the result was the same only. I changed my ISP(used 3 different companies) but the result is exactly the same, after 4 hops 2 timeouts, and after 9 all timeouts till 30. I run cmd under administrative mode. I'm using windows 10. Any help would be highly appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

it is likely that the 10th hop is dropping ICMP packets and they are not being passed on. If the first 9 show response times then its not you, and not likely to be your ISP either, unless they have many routers involved in the transport.

ICMP (the protocol used by traceroute) is of the lowest priority, and when higher priority traffic is ongoing the router may be configured to simply drop ICMP packets. There is also the possibility that the ISP drops all ICMP packets as a matter of security since many DOS (Denial of Service) attacks are based on probing done with ICMP packets.

maybe a duplicate? tracert command returns timed out
