I have solved this problem with:

const element = await driver.findElement(...)
await driver.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
await driver.sleep(500);

if you need to click the element you could try javascript:

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
        executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPath)));

Try below code

public static void mouse_movement(WebDriver driver, String xpathExpression) {
    Actions act = new Actions(driver);
    WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpathExpression));
    act.moveToElement(target).build().perform();
}

try to find element by xpath rather than link text. it worked for me.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("..."));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("host"));
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();

This will work. first check your "find element" method is write or wrong. Please post this step as well. otherwise your code is correct.

WebElement abcd = ..........

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

actions.moveToElement(abcd).perform();

Above code will work, but please check with the chrome.exe version and the chrome version you are using it your machine. both should be compatible to one another. Check the compatibility with below link.

Skip the build() part, perform() does it underneath anyway.
