How to Fix Selenium's "Element Is Not Clickable at Point"

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement searchButton = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.name("btnK")));
searchButton.click();

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.name("btnK"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", searchButton);
searchButton.click();

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.name("btnK"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", searchButton);

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

// Handle any potential overlay
try {
    WebElement overlay = driver.findElement(By.className("overlay"));
    if (overlay.isDisplayed()) {
        overlay.click(); // Close the overlay if it's blocking the button
    }
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
    // No overlay present, continue
}

WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.name("btnK"));
searchButton.click();

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, 0));
driver.manage().window().maximize();

WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.name("btnK"));
searchButton.click();
