When using the pen tool to stroke a path, it always converts to the wrong brush. (1080 custom brush)

I'm trying to use a solid round brush, but it always converts back to the 1080 brush.

Can you share what version of Photoshop you're using? I'm unable to reproduce this issue—when I stroke a path, the same brush is used each time. A screenshot or screen recording would be helpful so we can better understand what you're seeing. In the meantime, try manually setting the brush before stroking the path: select the Brush Tool (B), choose your desired brush (like Hard Round), then switch to the Pen Tool. Right-click the path and choose Stroke Path > Brush.

Got the same issue and solved it. in my case, I was using Mixer Brush Tool instead of Brush Tool by mistake.

Thanks for the reponse. I realized that when I clicked the brushes under the top row, it worked.
