java - Chrome version must be between 71 and 75 error after updating to ChromeDriver 2.46

Question

After update of chromedriver to version 2.46 my tasts fail to initialize. I got message like this:

Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402 (536cd7adbad73a3783fdc2cab92ab2ba7ec361e1) on port 44269
Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.
Failed to invoke configuration method com.personal.CustomTest.initTests not created: Chrome version must be between 71 and 75
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.46.628402,platform=Windows NT 10.0.16299 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 1.58 seconds
Build info: version: '2.53.1'

It is clearly saying that my browser version is not valid. But I am using Chrome 72.0.3626.119 so it is between 71 and 75. Selenium version is 2.53.1. And I am running test through console command with the help of testNG.

Any idea? Every ideas that I found was about changing selenium version but I cant do it.

For me to resolve this problem :

On Windows

cd C:Users[myname]AppDataRoaming
pm
ode_modulesprotractor
npm i webdriver-manager@latest
webdriver-manager update
webdriver-manager start &

On Cent-OS (I used Cent-OS 7.4.* and it worked fine.)

cd /usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/
sudo npm i webdriver-manager@latest
sudo webdriver-manager update
sudo webdriver-manager start &

I hope this helps you in any way.
