How to run xamarin forms designer?
After startup, an error pops up:
The previewer requires a 64-bit version of Oracle Java JDK 8 (1.8) or higher. Please install it and then set the Java JDK location in the Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio preferences.
But I'm using version 1.8.
How to fix?

You aren't using the 64-bit install of JDK 1.8, you're using the 32-bit.
Install the 64-bit version and change that path you highlighted from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_101
to
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101
