When I try to access the Microsoft Store I get Error Code: 0x80131500 CV: 0H5MOZaq8Uye8k8W
I've tried wsreset.exe- no success
I've tried https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027498/microsoft-store-fix-problems-with-apps - no success
I've tried to reset my region, language, and speech - no success
I've deleted the contents of the download directory and the datastore directory in c:\windows\softwaredistribution - no success
Ideas?

Before you go through all of the Ultra-Geeky hassle (and possibly dangerous) methods above, try checking your Internet Security settings as outlined below:
Possible Fix:
Search for "Internet Options"
Open the App
Select the "Advanced" Tab
Scroll to the Bottom of the List where you can see "Use SSL/TLS"
UN-Select SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 and 1.1
SELECT TLS 1.2 and (If Available) TLS 1.3
Click "Apply"
Click "OK"
Reboot Computer
YMMV
Good Luck!

For me, it was the license manager service that wasn't started; couldn't find the "Windows Store" service so not sure if that was meant to be listed.
I did follow all the other steps in this page first (1-7) and disable tls 1.0 and 1.1 so it's possible they also helped but starting the windows license manager service was the last thing I did before the store would function again.
In my case, the store would display a page cannot be loaded error, try again later. Refreshing the page would show the contents temporarily. Signing out would let me navigate in the store but as soon as I logged back in (so I could download apps) I would see errors navigating in the store.
Looks like Windows troubleshooter should be updated to detect the proper list of services that need to be running.
I couldn't get the microsoft store to open like all the others. My region and language were correct. I decided to try to change both of them to some other region and language then exit out. I came back in and changed them back to united states and english and the store opened up with no errors.
Genius! Thank you!
