          The procedure is pretty much the same as described here. It applies to Intel drivers (Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz specifically in my case), but I assume it is similar for other providers.



          First a quick reminder of Wi-Fi standards and bands:



          | Gen     | Standard | Band            |
          
| ------- | -------- | --------------- |
          
| Wi-Fi 1 | 802.11b  | 2.4 GHz         |
          
| Wi-Fi 2 | 802.11a  | 5 GHz           |
          
| Wi-Fi 3 | 802.11g  | 2.4 GHz         |
          
| Wi-Fi 4 | 802.11n  | 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz |
          
| Wi-Fi 5 | 802.11ac | 5 GHz           |


          To disable the 2.4 GHz band we need to disable the standards that use it:




          1. Device Manager » The wireless card » Properties » Advanced Tab


          2. 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless Mode set to 1.5GHz 8021.11a


          3. 802.11n/ac Wireless Mode set to 802.11ac


          There is another option Preferred Band which you can set to Prefer 5GHz band, but I don't know what exactly it does and if it is necessary to change it when the all the protocols that use the 2.4 GHz are already disabled.
