Achievements won't unlock in Origin

Hi. I have a problem with achievements and their not unlocking in the Origin (and H7 HQ, not sure if it’s connected). I played the game for the first time mostly without the Internet few years ago and unlocked most of achievements in the basic game. Unfortunately, I never really payed an attention to the Origin profile, so I didn’t noticed the achievements probably stayed locked in the online profile back then. Few days ago, I’ve started playing again with old files, saves and everything. Yet, while I see the old achievements and characters in the game alright, the Origin doesn’t show anything. And not only it doesn’t show the old achievements, it overlooks even the new one. I’ve unlock another one two days ago when I was online and the Origin profile ignored it completely again. The new saves from game upload to the servers as they should. It’s probably just the achievements. I’ve read some people had problems with DLC achievements or with some from the basic game, but I do have a problem with all of them.  Can you help me please? Thank you very much.

    I'd say yes, because ME3 is the only must-have-Origin game I own and I didn't have to register when I istalled it. I just logged in.

    In this case, please try clearing your Origin cache:

    All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.
     
    - close Origin completely. (right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close)
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy  "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) > hit ENTER
    - Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder. (The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.)
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy "%AppData%" (without quotes)  > hit ENTER
    - Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder
    - Delate the "Origin"  folder inside the "Roaming" folder
    - In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on the word "AppData".
    - Open the "Local" folder
    - Delate the "Origin"  folder inside the  "Local" folder
