How to restore the circle shape for the brush tool in Photoshop

My brush tool has become a small cross hair and cannot get back to a circle. How do I reset?

    Press the 'Caps Lock' key while using one of the brushes. It toggles between a circle and a crosshair view.

    If it's always wrong when opening Photoshop change the default behavior in Edit --> Preferences --> Cursors. There you can select 'Normal Brush Tip'.

      in my paint.net program my paintbrush is making squares instead of a circle.  Like pixels.  I’ve even tried reloading the program.  How do I fix it back to a circle.  The caps lock doesn’t work for psin.net.  Thank you

        Nitin is this a screenshot from Photoshop?  If so what version?  The OP still needs to respond with which software they are using.
