Another way to fix this issue..

Go to the directory:
/home/your-user-name/.config/touchpad-indicator/

And open the touchpad-indicator.conf file with some editor.

Now find a part:
"start_hidden": true

and change it to:
"start_hidden": false

Save the file, exit editor and restart your system.
Should be fine now.
