  <p>Running <code>webdriver-manager update</code>doesn't solve the issue. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42426549/protractor-in-sts-ide-could-not-find-update-config-json">This</a> issue wasn't the same but gave some information.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  If I run <code>ng e2e</code> without <code>--no-webdriver-update</code> I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\project\Angular>ng e2e
    Cannot automatically find webdriver-manager to update.
    Update webdriver-manager manually and run 'ng e2e --no-webdriver-update' instead.
