relock bitlocker in windows 7

I am using windows 7 bitlocker to encrypt a partition on the hard drive. So I unlock the drive with the password successfully. Now how I relock the reader? The only way I see is to reboot the machine. What bothers me is that even if you close the session and connect as a different user, the reader is always unlocked! Is there not a menu item or option for the re - lock?

Could just right click on the driver and then click on enable BitLocker or the Panel under BitLocker option re - activate. When you unlock BitLocker, it will affect not to the level of the user, which means when it is activated at the level of the system, is to allow all users, and when it is disable, it is disable for all users too.

    People like you that encryption data with bitlocker do it because they want their data accessible only by those who have the certificate. The sad news for you is that you have made a good choice with BitLocker: unless you have the certificate, your data remains inaccessible. There is no backdoor.

Is it the way it is supposed to look like when it will run. Because I put all perimeters to activation, the initialization and the establishment. The TPM is the correct version, group policy is set to the correct specifications, I did everything what I was instructed to do. I even let the TPM to create his or her own password. I initialized and took possession of the TPM, I turned it on, I put it to ignore blocked orders. I installed the security chip.

    When you turn off BitLocker, you can either disable BitLocker temporarily or to decrypt the volume. Disable BitLocker allows TPM and other minor changes module changes the system. Decrypt the volume means that the volume will be entirely decrypted, and that all the keys are ignored. You must decrypt a computer before the operating system upgrade. Once a volume is decrypted, you must generate new keys through the encryption process again once, if you want to enable BitLocker.

     

    Before you start

    ·         You must be logged on as administrator.

    ·         The volume must be encrypted.
