How to Stop Photoshop Brush Switching in PSDs

Question

When I switch from one PSD to another, Photoshop changes the brush tools. How can I stop this?

Thank you for your help, I have now tried uninstalling without keeping the settings and reinstalling Photoshop but the problem remains.

A small update, I have tried to disable the official Photoshop streamdeck plugin and the problem does not occur any more.

Are you saying that if you have a document open in Photoshop, and then open another document in the same computer, that different tools are selected? You mention brush tools specifically, so do you mean that the selected preset changes? I am not going to say that it's impossible, but I am not sure how that might happen.

What Photoshop version is this happening to?

It says you are using Windows, but which version?

Can you give lots of details, and a screen shot that demonstrates what you are talking about? Make it full resolution, and of the entire workspace showing the layers panel.
