How do I exit macOS utilities and regain cursor control?

Just sat down to my Mac and was greeted by a window from Mac OS Utilities with 4 options to restore my system with Time Machine backup, to reinstall a new copy of macOS, to browse apple support and one other. My curser seems to be locked in place. Help?
