Windows 10: All Microsoft services on my PC seem to be gone?

It all started with my Windows 10 Mail App. It wouldn't sync with my Gmail. So I tried removing my Gmail and re-adding it. When I selected Google account, it said that service can't be accessed right now, and then that I have no internet connection, which I have a very strong one. I tried adding it using the generic setup, and it said it couldn't find that settings. It's already setup to bypass the firewall. I decided to uninstall and reinstall Mail. I uninstalled it, when I went to the Microsoft Store, it says "Try that again" Code: 0x80131500. I did some reading and found it might be a country issue so I went to download English USA in my settings, it doesn't download. I figured maybe I have updated waiting. I went to check my Windows updates and it said the last update failed. Currently, they're sitting on pending download. I ran the troubleshooter for the internet connection and for the windows updater, both said they can't identify the problem. I even went to get support from Microsoft and tried to open the Get Help app and it said "Something went wrong on our end, we're working on it." This is incredibly bizarre. It's as though all of my Microsoft services on this PC have been blocked. I only noticed this happening yesterday. I attached my system specs. Somebody please tell me Microsoft is just experiencing some kind of outage.
