I have repeatedly turned on and off the "Show WIFI Status in Menu Bar" box selection in preferences (it DOES show while preferences box is open, disappears once closed) but cannot get it to remain in the menu bar.
Any fix?

Here are the instructions for resetting NVRAM and SMC:

To start in Safe Mode, immediately press and hold the Shift key after pressing the power button.
Safe Mode is slow. That is normal. It clears a number of system caches and loads only essential services.

You can try Relaunching the Menu Bar from the Terminal.app using this command line, simply copy and paste:
killall -KILL SystemUIServer
use the enter/return key to complete
quit terminal.
You can do this on the fly, no restarting required,
Reset NVRAM, reset SMC.
Restart in Safe Mode, check the box, see if it sticks.
Restart normally again.
Luis, thank you for your reply and your willingness to help.
