1. Overview

Implicit wait is a mechanism that allows the browser to wait for a specified amount of time before throwing an error when trying to locate an element.

When a page is not loaded completely, this makes locating the elements difficult in execution which results in ElemntNotFound exception. You can use implicit wait to load for the element to appear. You can handle it by changing <MaximumTimeInSecondsToWaitForControl>5</MaximumTimeInSecondsToWaitForControl> in the ApplicationSettingsXML file.
