What's the output of...

systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

Re: [Solved] netctl failing due to systemd set wlan0 state UP

netctl can interact with systemd:

netctl enable profile
netctl disable profile

OR

systemctl disable netctl-ifplugd@interface.service
systemctl stop netctl-ifplugd@interface.service
systemctl enable netctl-auto@interface.service
systemctl start netctl-auto@interface.service
