New Bluetooth driver 17.1.0 doesn't get installed

Hi, I'm using a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1 x64. It has the Intel Wireless-N 7260 w/ BT. Right now I have installed the driver 17.0.1401.0428. I'm trying to install the new 17.1.0 driver, but once I install it (everything goes fine), I check my drivers with Intel® Driver Update Utility and it again detects that I'm using the version 17.0.1401.0428. If I go to Device Manager, the Bluetooth driver's version is 17.0.1428.1.

I don't understand anything. I install 17.1.0, it detects 17.0.1401.0428 and I have actually installed 17.0.1428.1.

Any help? Thanks!

PD: My BT is working fine, but I just wanna have the latest and best drivers.

So I checked for new Windows 8.1 x64 updates yesterday (I check for updates almost every single day, so this one came yesterday) and it installed this one:

Intel - WLAN CSB - Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260

Installation date: ‎8/‎21/‎2014 16:41

Installation status: Succeeded

Update type: Optional

Intel WLAN CSB software update released in July, 2014

I've done the Intel Driver Update Utility scan, and now it does not detect that I have an old Bluetooth driver. It's funny because I still have installed the driver 17.0.1428.1 for Bluetooth, and the driver 17.1.0.19 for the Intel Wireless-N 7260.
