Bluetooth icon not showing up in menu bar

Usually, the Bluetooth icon always shows up in my menu bar upon start-up. Lately it has not been appearing. In my system preferences, the show blue-tooth icon in menu bar is checked. If I uncheck it and then check it again it shows up where it is supposed to be in the menu bar. But if I restart my Mac it is missing again. At the present time I am not using any Bluetooth devices but would like to know how to get the icon to appear every time so that I know that it is working properly. Can anybody answer my question or has anybody else noticed this? Thanks.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the folder's location. Once this folder has appeared, move the item named com.apple.systemuiserver.plist to another folder, log out, and log back in.

Alternatively, add the item Bluetooth.menu in the /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ folder to the list of login items for your account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
