I've been testing out both Linux Mint and Linux Lite out. I have 4 different Mints (xfce, kde, cinnamon, and mate) Then Linux Lite was installed last. But one day I was doing some full updates on my Linux Mint Xfce and it took over the Grub. I tried this to fix it: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge.../#msg13969 It at least got things working "good enough" to use the machine. Today I decided to update all of the OSes. And I knew they would take over the Grub. I thought it was interesting that when Mint xfce took over the entries were fixed. But once I turned it back over to the Linux Lite, all the entries got messed up again.
I'm not reporting the fact that Linux Lite grub has been altered:
"Jerry:
This is not a bug, so please don't report it as such. Grub is deliberately altered so that folks who dual boot with Windows will recognise Linux Lite in the Grub menu. This has been explained already. Cheers."

I'm reporting that the way I found to fix this problem: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge.../#msg13969 Made a mess of the Grub entries, and simply running sudo update-grub doesn't fix it. Here is what my current grub menu looks like. It especially messed up my Linux Mint 18 xfce Install on sda1. It doesn't seem to start up with Systemd anymore, and it displays a bunch of start up text. Which the start up text is ok for me, but I know this is not the way the distro is intended to do. Also I think there might be some other problems as a result as well. *If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it please let me know.
Here is what my Grub currently looks like:
