Hello, every time I start up I see bluetooth is automatically turned on. How do I disable that so that it is turned off by default?
Using 17.1
You go in the Settings and there to the Bluetooth Tab (should be 3rd from above). And there You turn off the Switch in the upper right Corner. Look at the red Mark here:

but does that turn it off from automatically being enabled on start up or just for that session?
It permanently disable it. Try it. Turn it off, make a Reboot and then control it.
This forum exists as a helpful environment where users can achieve direct one-on-one help with issues.
If we can just "Google" up solutions, the forum would have no need to exist, nor would nuanced or individualized answers be needed.
Importantly, the only reason that Google can supply any answers at all is from those who asked others and received answers from others. Google did not make the answers. It retrieved them.
This is not an appropriate response to user inquiries at any time.

I did try that and it defaults to being turned back on....
So, You turned off the Switch, started the System new and the Switch was on?
correct
yes, active. I have tried disabling both but they always revert upon restart.
Do you use any Bluetooth Devices? Mouse, Keyboard, Headset, Speaker anything?
You could try to disable Bluetooth in the Terminal. For this type in the Terminal:
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service

As @Ponce-De-Leon suggests, sudo systemctl disable bluetooth and sudo systemctl enable bluetooth should survive a reboot.
If those terminal commands are not surviving reboot, please note that.
