Looks like they added a Known issue to the link

Known issues in this update

• Issue 1
  
  Symptom
  After you install KB 3133977, the software for Intel Bluetooth devices may not be fully functional because of existing software issues in the Intel Bluetooth driver software. These issues may affect Bluetooth keyboards, mice, audio streaming devices, and voice headsets. You may also not be able to pair new Bluetooth devices. Intel is currently working on an update to address their software incompatibilities.
  
  Workaround
  If you require Intel Bluetooth support on Windows 7 before the revised software is available, the only known workaround at this time is to uninstall this update temporarily and then reinstall it after Intel has updated their software.

To be fair here's Intel's thoughts....

We have confirmed that KB3161608 causes problems with Bluetooth* and currently, the only workaround available is to remove the update. At this time, we do not have a way to have KB3161608 installed and Bluetooth* working at the same time.

This situation has been reported to the appropriate resources and we expect it to be resolved in the near future. Please keep in mind that Windows* updates are a Microsoft* feature and Intel does not have inherence on these contents, so we cannot provide a specific time for resolution.

Source: Microsoft yanks buggy speed-up patch KB 3161608, replaces it with KB 3172605 and 3172614

According to the source link, it sounds like microsoft and intel are in a pissing contest.

2614 is 8.1's update and 2605 is 7's; It's saying 1608 is a one time update for June and July's updates won't go as smoothly as June's that's why you need to install 2605, but I didn't have trouble with slow July updates.

My conclusion? I'm going to wait until August rolls around.

Hi,
Good info :)
Yea I'm thinking of restoring as far back as possible = April or May :)
All of these Kernel mode updates I'm sure MS has completely screwed the pooch seeing how many have been issued

Thanks for the helpful update, @erpster4.
