For some reason, the most basic wordpress user query i got from this generator

https://generatewp.com/wp_user_query/

is displaying that it has not found any users

    $args = array (
    );

    // The User Query
    $user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );

    // The User Loop
    if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
        foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) { }
   
   } else { 
   echo "no users found";
  }

am i missing something?
