I'm using VNC viewer to connect to my Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch. I set up my wifi connection using the wifi setting on the menu bar. However, after I reboot the Pi it does not connect to wifi automatically and I have to manually connect it. Extensive google research yielded no working solutions. I have tried editing the interfaces file and wpa_supplicant.conf but nothing has worked so far.

my /etc/network/interfaces file:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=GB

network={
        ssid="mywifiname"
        psk="mywifipassword"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

What you have looks correct (assuming SSID and Password are correct) and you haven't modified any other files.

How are you accessing VNC if networking is not set?

Try adding a line auto wlan0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file. That should make it work.
