Hi I never fix some thing that ain't broke. I'm going to wait awhile to see if windows updates the driver. I have version 6.0.1.7404. if I have trouble, then I'll will go to the manufacture for the driver.

Sometimes I just hide the new driver because I don't want to fix it if it isn't broke.

A good case in point is I updated the drivers for my mouse & keyboard at the same time.
Both stopped working.
Being stupid I did not know how to revert to old drivers without a mouse or keyboard even on a restart.
Had to use factory recovery discs to reinstall Win8 home.
Installed Macrium & boot time recovery option.
Used latest Macrium image to restore to latest image.
(8,1 Pro)
Having a Microsoft account it activated nicely.
I have not touched drivers for mouse or keyboard since.
They work good so why update them ?

We have the same saying in Linux:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Drivers are updated only when it is absolutely required.

There are firmware/bios updates for my computer but I ignore them.
It runs good without them.
