12.50%
27 of the 216 ways 3 6-sided dice land add up to 10 — about one roll in 8.0. Among the 16 totals 3d6 can make, that is the likeliest total — tied with 1 other, since the distribution is symmetric.
Every total 3d6 can roll, with 10 picked out. The peak is 10 at 12.50%.

The 27 ways to make it
Too many to list usefully — 27 ordered combinations out of 216. Ordered is the point: with two dice, 1 and 6 is a different outcome from 6 and 1, and counting them as one is the commonest way to get dice odds wrong.
