--feedback--

This word introduces the condition or situation that causes something to happen.

--explanation--

When is used here to describe a specific condition or situation that causes something to happen.

In Sarah's sentence, when introduces the condition where the IDEs become tricky: if they're not set up properly. For example:

  • The program crashes when it runs out of memory. - The condition of running out of memory causes the program to crash.

  • The printer only works when it's plugged in. - The condition of being plugged in allows the printer to work.

In both cases, when is used to explain the situation in which something occurs.
