I tried more than solution and still receiving the same error. This methods that i tried

var element = wait.Until(driver => driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(.//*[normalize-space(text()) and normalize-space(.)='Email Address'])[1]/following::input[1]")));

var element = wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.InvisibilityOfElementLocated(By.XPath("xpath=(.//*[normalize-space(text()) and normalize-space(.)='For support: info@me'])[1]/following::div[1]")));

Wait for the overlaying element to disappear before you perform your click

Write this code before you click the desired element

wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.InvisibilityOfElementLocated(By.XPath("//div[@class='loader-wrapper ng-trigger ng-trigger-visibilityChanged ng-animating']")))

i am receiving this now OpenQA.Selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: 'stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

@JamesFallon Okay, put this block in try catch block and then in the catch block, you call the find element once again, it would work. I usually advice people to use WATIR when they face stale element because WATIR automatically handles stale element.
