Usually, NetworkManager (the deamon) starts at boot time, as you enabled
it with systemctl. What you click on, is a GUI front-end, to tell
NetworkManger what to do. Probably it's nm-applet (Gnome3 and KDE
usually come with different ones).
You should check, that the WiFi connection you are trying to connect is

properly configured. You can right-click on the icon of nm-applet and do
"Edit connections".

logfiles and provide more information
journalctl -b 0 _SYSTEMD_UNIT=NetworkManager.service
Sure, that sounds doable :)
