"397.93" Hotfix for a previous driver?

Yeah that's a strange description from nVidia but this driver has a newer branch r397_91-11 (398.11 was r397_91-9) so one would assume that the fix wasn't included in 398.11

That's odd indeed.

Maybe drivers 397.93 leave some files/settings behind that cause issues and this fixes.
