The locked screen on Windows 8.1 can be turned into a slideshow to show the pictures that you like such as your vacation pictures, etc. This feature does not have any other purpose other than beautification which is a remnant of the screen saver. The screen saver was only useful during the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors to prevent burnt pixel due to prolonged stationary ray of light. If you are innovative in thinking, you can use the slideshow for other purposes such showing pictures with reminders or inspirational messages. This feature will not be a burden on the system resources since you will not be using the computer while it is locked but it will be a burden to the programs that you have to leave running.
Here are the steps to enable the slideshow on locked screen on Windows 8.1.
1. Move your mouse pointer to the top right area of the screen to show the Charms bar (you have to be patient for the Charms bar to appear), then click SETTINGS icon.
2. Click CHANGE PC SETTINGS option.
3. Click PC AND DEVICES category on the left side.
4. Click on the slider labeled "Play a slide show on the lock screen" to turn it on.
