No phsically shutdown since bitlocker encryption?

Since I have encrypted my computer (2HDDs) with bitlocker I cannot perform a total shutdown including the pysical break from power. After a few seconds I get a black screen and the shutdown process stops. To end the session I must push the button of my laptop for a few seconds. Is there a way around to shutdown the computer without using the hardware?

My system: CPU 3,02GByte
2 HDDs encrypted with bitlocker

Limit Windows shutdown options
...This behavior can be controlled in Windows Group Policy. See the “Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without have to log on” setting in Windows security policy...
