Imac filevault

I wanted to turn off the FileVault on my 2011 iMac running Sierra 10.12.6. It started decrypting my files and now is stopped in the decryption paused mode. What can I do to get it going again?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.12

Have you checked System Preferences/Security & Privacy/FileVault to see if there is a resume option?

Where are you seeing that it is paused? Have you tried restarting the computer to see if that makes a difference?

This is what I see in the security and privacy tab of system preferences. I have tried restarting the computer but it didn't help.
