autostart

Launches without prompting

Autostart refers to a feature or setting that causes a program, device, or process to begin running automatically without manual intervention.

Software may autostart when a computer boots up; a car with autostart ignites the engine remotely: I used autostart to warm up the car before going outside.

The term functions as noun, verb, or adjective: disable autostart, the program autostarts on login, autostart settings.
