The wait needs to be called:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
s=Service("C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplicationchromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
user = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div")))
user.send_keys("Admin")
driver.find_element(By.ID, "txtPassword").send_keys("admin123")
driver.quit()

There are 2 problems with your code:

You created the wait object but not used it…
Your locators are wrong.
The following code works:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")

webdriver_service = Service('C:webdriverschromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options)

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)

url = "https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com"
driver.get(url)

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "username"))).send_keys("Admin")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "password"))).send_keys("admin123")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.TAG_NAME, "button"))).click()
