Yes... You can uninstall it. Here are the directions:

don't matter, games should have option to use either directx11 or direct 10.

Tips & Warnings

Uninstalling DirectX 11 is not recommended. Doing so may cause errors or reduced system performance.

That's how that article ends. If you do this, you won't have DX on your system at all. And MS will want to install DX12 or whatever the newest version your OS can use.

More info is needed including your OS version. The HD3000 isn't a powerful gaming GPU like add in cards. You normally change what level of DX is used in each game. Either by adding a line in the start up .exe, or in the video settings for the game.

Startup.exe is just the name of the game. For example, if you were to start playing Half Life 2, you would see HL2.exe show up under your running processes. Some games support adding parameters to the "startup.exe" file so that it starts with certain conditions. You might be able to add "-DX9" to force it to use DX9 instead of DX10. If this works depends on the game, not all of them allow this.

Most modern games allow you to go into the settings and change things. Details, DX level, shadows, etc. You should be looking to change things there.

Edit: I would not uninstall DX. DX11 is backwards compatible, so there shouldn't be any issue.
