Angular Amplify init Cognito: Profile configuration is missing for default

Question

After running the amplify init command in the root folder of my angular project I get the following error message when I dont want to create a new user:

init failed
Error: Profile configuration is missing for: default
    at Object.getProfiledAwsConfig (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@aws-amplify\cli\node_modules\amplify-provider-awscloudformation\lib\system-config-manager.js:82:11)

I already have an account with App ClientID and App Client Secret. I type in the accessKeyId, secretAccessKey and the region and then the error message appears.

Update ~/.aws/credentials (Linux & Mac) or %USERPROFILE%.aws\credentials (Windows) and ~/.aws/config (Linux & Mac) or %USERPROFILE%.aws\config (Windows) with the default options as described in the link below
