Have you tried Pixel Tool?

I'm trying to do the same thing (Photo on Windows, v 1.10.5.1342) but the forum posts I can find that seem related are years old and the fix they suggest (hardness less than 100%) doesn't work for me.
I would like to draw a 1 pixel wide circle without any anti-aliasing on the pixels. I have Force Pixel Alignment enabled, Move by Whole Pixels enabled, and a line width of 1pt when drawing the circle. The circle looks like this

when I would like it to look like this

I've tried both the elipse tool, and the paint brush tool.

Is this possible please?

Use Force Off in the Blend (accessed by hitting the little Cog Wheel in the Layers panel once you select the Elipse layer)

Click the COG in the Layer panel then set anti aliasing off in BlendOptions. Hope that makes sense, can't currently upload an image

Tip: If you regularly want to use aliased circles or ellipses, create one as above & add it to your Assets panel with some descriptive name like "Aliased Ellipse." That way, whenever you want to use one you can just drag it out onto the canvas & adjust its size, color, or other properties however you want without ever having to open & then close the Blend Options window to force off anti-aliasing.

Thanks @Old Bruce @David in Яuislip @R C-R for the replies!

This is a lot better. I can get it to a single pixel circle by taking the line width down to 0.2 so that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!
