Not sure if you can "uninstall" it completely but you may be able to roll back to a previous version via the add/remove programs list.

Here's instructions for WMP10 which possibly is the same or similar technique.

Here's a link to uninstalling WMP 10 when it's was in Beta. Could work for WMP 11 as well.

I wouldn't use beta software unless your prepared to reinstall your operating system. Beta software is for the guinea pigs to work out the bugs.

in uninstall, tick "show updates" to ON

I should have worded that different
in control panel, go to tool for adding/removing software.
(I am on my Dutch box, and don't know all menus by heart)
anyway, there is a tickbox
in that box, tick show updates to ON

after this, you see Mediaplayer 10 (and 11 if you have it installed) as UPDATES.

it rolls back, no problem
by the way, I just installed 11
loaded a long list, and then did things I know make 9 do these hiccups

not a hiccup...
