brush presets change on their own?

i use regular brush, without fancy brush tip shape settings.  however  reason, boxes such "smoothing", "shape dynbamics, keep clicking on.   use lot of key commands, not sure i'm pressing keys mistake.    never want of these boxes clicked, , it's driving me nuts having decheck them constantly.  

 

also, every time open photoshop panel color, swatches, styles, masks opens up.  pops open while i'm working reason...  never use these windows.  created own work space , want stay @ workspace. 

which version of photoshop using?

 

however  reason, boxes such "smoothing", "shape dynbamics, keep clicking on.

i suspect might using commands »next brush« instead of »increase brush size« etc. thereby inadvertently not changing properties of current brush selecting different brush.

if throw out brush presets don’t need in presets manager , create customized ones – don’t forget save new set.

 

pops open while i'm working reason...

again might shortcut, maybe should try trashing prefs (after making sure customized presets actions, patterns, brushes etc. have been saved , making note of preferences vou’ve changed).
