Given the 14th Gen has been around now for a little while now and EVGA has no idea when it will be released? It's NOT a good look, then you have to wonder about other updates in the future, let alone support and warranty service. 
They may be aware, but they have no idea what or when, unfortunately. It is very unfortunate it has come down to this. I have been an EVGA fan boy for years ever since the X58. I do have a Z690 I bought when they were 
blowing them out. But I wouldn't drop the 14900k CPU in it I just got. That combo deal I wrote about above for $838 was worth it to me to try the Asrock Nova. I can always compare the Z690 if there is ever a bios update.
I am not claiming I am right or wrong, JUST my thinking on the subject.

Anyone thinks that, when this firmware comes out, that it'll support APO?

I would expect it would. I already enabled APO on the Z690 Dark by modding the 2.13 BIOS.

Could you make a guide for z690 users step by step or video?

I have been sleeping much better after the swap. It really is sad to lose support for such a wonderful motherboard, it just made sense to move on for me.

I had a 2080Ti XC black die on me the other day and I had the extended prepaid warranty active. 
FWIW EVGA's tech support and warranty claim Dept. is STILL top notch, don't let anyone else tell you any different.
Jason in Tech support from Evga told me they have tons of parts for warranty replacements.
But... When I ventured into the Bios upgrade for 14th Gen, I had explained I bought a Classified Z790 and returned it
for another manufacturer because of the lack of ANY RECENT word from Evga. His response was telling,  "I can not blame you". This was because
even he didn't know anything about when and/or if it was coming in the foreseeable future. Take that for what its worth, I had hoped for a better 
response and he genuinely wished had a better one for me. There are people at Evga that still care, they just really don't have answers to give us at the levels
we can talk to or communicate with, that really isn't a positive sign in that regard.

Sure, there are certainly a lot of great people still at EVGA, but there are also others who had no problem putting motherboards on the market, in some cases for over $1K, knowing full well that they were going out of business. the activity, and that they would no longer provide even a minimum of firmware/bios/drivers support.
I remind you that even before everyone noticed this situation due to the gen14 CPUs, EVGA has never released any driver updates, nor any ME Firmware updates, which is very serious in itself.
Then there are other people who even put their names and signatures on these cards, and it doesn't seem to me that they are worried either about the damage to their image or even less about the fate of the users who believed in their brand.
