Why does my wifi no longer connect automatically after upgrading to Android 5.0.1?

WiFi no longer connects automatically after upgrade to Android 5.0.1

Before my S4 was upgraded to Android 5.0.1, my phone would connect to "known" WiFi networks automatically. Now this no longer happens. It will only connect after I stop and restart WiFi on my phone. Is there a solution to this issue?
