It would be harder to explain than to fix the code itself, so here you go.
None of this was tested, so it might error.

local folderItems --a folder to store your items to be later cloned from

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local inventorystore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Inventory")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local listErrored = {}

--added :GetService
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Inv = Instance.new("Folder")
	Inv.Name = "Inventory"
	Inv.Parent = Player 
	
	local data
	local success, errmsg
	--retry 5 times
	for i=1,5 do
		success, errmsg = pcall(function()
			data = inventorystore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
		end)
		if success then
			break
		end
	end

	if success then
		--added loading
		for _,name in ipairs(data) do
			local obj = folderItems:FindFirstChild(name):Clone()
			obj.Parent = Inv
		end
	else
		--Remade all of this block, you should also add a visible message that notifies that an error
		--occured and that the data won't be saved.
		listErrored[Player] = true
		error("Failed to load player "..Player.Name.."'s inventory with error code:\n"..errmsg)
	end	
end)

--added :GetService again
game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)

	--avoid saving if player errored
	if listErrored[Player] then
		listErrored[Player] = nil
		return
	end

	local list = {}
	for i,v in ipairs(Player.Inventory:GetChildren())do
		list[i] = v.Name
	end


	local success, EM
	for i=1,5 do
		success, errmsg = pcall(function()
			inventorystore:UpdateAsync(Player.UserId,function(_) return list end)
		end)
		if success then
			break
		end
	end
	
	if success then
		print("Successfully saved player "..Player.Name.."'s inventory.")
	else
		error("Failed to save player "..Player.Name.."'s inventory with error:\n"..errmsg)
	end
end)

Because you need to create some kind of a folder to store every item type and then assign it to the folderItems variable.

Basically an item storage.
