My laptop is quite new with the following specs

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz
8Gb Ram
1Tb harddrive

but sometime system.exe takes up as much as 80% of the CPU. and it does causes the mouse pointer to stutter/ hangs. Even-though Power plan is set as "High performance"

Ok, then use the removal tool for it to ensure all remnants are removed as well.
