You can't. There are four things you can do for these cases:
1) Use the applications specific IPv4 switch
eg "PuTTY -4"
2) Use DNS names with IPv4 addresses
eg:
purgatory.unfix.org AAAA 3ffe:8114:2000:240:290:27ff:fe24:c19f
A 195.64.92.136
purgatory.ipv6.unfix.org AAAA 3ffe:8114:2000:240:290:27ff:fe24:c19f
purgatory.ipv4.unfix.org A 195.64.92.136
This way if you want to specifically use IPv4.
use the correct DNS name, but it defaults to IPv6
with a fallback to IPv4 if the app supports it.
3) netsh interface ipv6 set route 0::/0 ::1
Blackhole the default route so that any outgoing connections
fail, well behaved applications will fall back directly.
4) ipv6 uninstall
This will completely disable IPv6 support.
