Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you able to open the apps by clicking on them directly on the dock? When you are at the Launch screen, you can press the ESC key to get back to your desktop or open windows. Restarting your computer will most likely resolve this.

Leaving Launchpad
To exit Launchpad, open an app. If you want to exit without opening anything:
- Press the Escape (esc) key or Launchpad key on your keyboard.
- Click the Launchpad icon, or another app icon in the Dock.
There may be an unresponsive application that is affecting things. If so, you can use the Force Quit command to close it:

Hopefully, this will get you back on track ...
