Advanced setup upon customization apparently too aggressive

EAV Home 6.0.308. Advanced setup after customization seems to be aggressive. It can be recognized on several freezes of OS, OS no interactive, and so on. No probs apparently any more after had reset advanced setup to defaults (all sections). Two exports are available, before and after reset. How is the best and less expensive way to check out which entry(-ies) exactly in the customized config are leading to problems as identified? For instance config after reset to defaults shows section with plenty of path entries of the type C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\. All these entries are missing in setup before reset. However, before reset HIPS was disabled.
