Configure a computer for 2 Default Gateways

In the scenario where I need a computer to have 2 Default Gateways , how should I  configure the computer to achieve this goal.
I know that there is Route Add command in windows that can add a second DG to the computer. However in large environment, is Adding Route to computers is done manually or through a script or it is a configuration done through a router ?

in the topology below, assuming computer C1 is configure with DG of R1 interface but it  also needs to reach Network 192.168.10.0.

How is this done ?

Thank you

If I understand:
 ICMP redirect is enabled by default on Cisco routers, the issue should not have happened at first place.  Correct ?

SW1 is L2.
I believe if SW1 was L3  then routing should have occured just there...

I agree , C1 exiting Default Gateway or added DG through Route command,  should always be on the same subnet as the computer subnet.

Thank you Guys!

Okay, but if the underlying network is invalid then the concepts will be invalid as well.
