안녕하세요!
macOS 26 Tahoe 에선 LaunchPad 기능이 제거되었고, Terminal을 이용하여 LaunchPad 복구하는건 26 초기버전이고 최신버전에서 사용하시면 Spotlight가 고장날 수 있습니다.
먼저 Terminal 에서 원복 후 Mac 재시동 해주시기 바랍니다.
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/SpotlightUI.plist SpotlightPlus -dict Enabled -bool true
재시동 이후 아래 명령어 입력 → 재시동으로 Spotlight 인덱스 재구성 해주시기 바랍니다. (macOS 백업하고 진행하시는걸 추천)
sudo mdutil -i off /
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight*
sudo mdutil -i on /
sudo mdutil -E /

Terminal 로 재구성하는게 번거롭다면 아래 문서를 참고하여 진행해 보시기 바랍니다.

여기까지 해도 안될경우 macOS 재설치를 하셔야 할 것 같습니다.

-----------------
In macOS 26 Tahoe, Launchpad has been completely removed. This is the root cause of why the F4 key and Launchpad are not working. Additionally, if you previously used Terminal commands to try to restore Launchpad, it may have also broken Spotlight.
Please first restore the original settings in Terminal, then restart your Mac.
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/SpotlightUI.plist SpotlightPlus -dict Enabled -bool true
After restarting, enter the commands below → then restart again to rebuild the Spotlight index. (It is recommended to back up your macOS before proceeding.)
sudo mdutil -i off /
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight*
sudo mdutil -i on /
sudo mdutil -E /
If rebuilding via Terminal is too ***bersome, please refer to the do***ent below

If none of the steps above resolve the issue, you may need to reinstall macOS.
