English term or phrase: When My Computer Starts
Eins vorneweg, ich habe das Microsoft-Glossar, auf das ich neulich hingewiesen wurde, schon von der Microsoft-Webseite runtergeladen und nachgesehen, aber da steht es nicht drin.

Es geht um das Hinzufügen einer Task, die bei Systemstart gestartet werden soll. Also Start > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks > Add Scheduled Task. Click "Next" to start the Scheduled Task wizard. Dann die gewünschte Task suchen, blablub... Change the task name if desired, select **When My Computer Starts**, then click "Next".

Wie lautet die genaue Übersetzung dafür?

Wenn mein Computer startet oder anläuft


Explanation:
I believe "starten" in computer terms is quite acceptable in German..I've seen plenty of phrases that use "start" in conjunction with a computer. Or you could say "anlaufen".. Hope this helps.

Example sentence(s):
  • Der Computer startet nicht!

disagree  Siegfried Armbruster: es geht hier nicht um die Übersetzung im Allgemeinen, sondern um die Übersetzung, die Microsoft in seinem Betriebssystem verwendet

neutral  Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.: Hi renate123, hier handelt es sich um eine Option, die im Optionsfeld für die Planung von Tasks ausgewählt werden kann. Daher darf die Übersetzung nicht generisch sein, sondern muss den genauen Wortlaut dieser Option wiedergeben.
