automatic connect to hidden wifi

The hidden status of the Wi-Fi network I am being allowed to connect to is not my option. I am using that Wi-Fi network now, to post this question. every time I boot up Ubuntu 16.04 LTS it fails to connect there, pops up a message saying that Wi-Fi networks are available (there are 5 non-hidden ones that are not usable) and I must manually select "Connect to Hidden Wi-Fi Network ..." and manually type in the SSID, select the type of "Wi-Fi security", and enter the password. It works fine until I reboot. At times when I am at other locations, other networks which are not hidden work automatically just fine after I select it once. I want to have this network saved and automatically connected when I reboot. How can I get that?

at least one of the non-hidden networks does not require a password. maybe that is influencing the logic of NetworkManager.

There's unanswered questions, what network manager are you using, has the network name previously been changed, and have you cleared any uuid's from the previous hotspots

Apparently a known problem; see Launchpad bug 1542733.
Possible manual workaround: use nmcli:
nmcli c up id "connection name"
