Hey there @karmamule,
Currently there is not a way to scale the launcher, though we're glad to hear this feedback! We'll definitely be sure to pass this along.
One workaround would be to use the Magnifier application that is installed with Windows. To use this, simply click Start, type Magnifier in the search box, and run the program. This can help you read any errors that may occur during patching.

So here in September of 2017 I can not play with my 4k laptop due to this scaling issue. It did work two months ago by changing the file properties for the eso64.exe such that Properties / Compatibility
Override high DPI scaling behavior... System (Enhanced)
Now nothing works. I tired Jasonsilversprings fix but got lost tying to figure out how to make the registry changes and other inferred changes. Too hard.
Anyone know of a fix that is not so elaborate? One like click on Play?
I had the same issue since I started playing on 4K.
I have recently found a solution on my own when I changed the different settings.
You need to do the following:
1. Right click on the file named "Bethesda.net_Launcher"(this file can usually be found at "Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher".
2. Click "Properties".
3. Click "compatibility".
4. Click "change high DPI settings".
5. Click "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and change it to "System".
6. Click "OK".
7. Click "Apply" and then "OK".
You are now able to display the launcher in a huge window without any issues
@ZOS_RobGarrett @ZOS_GinaBruno Maybe you can add this solution to the Support portal, so others can enjoy it too
Maybe it's not the best solutions but it definitely works.

Yeah, Microsoft finally added the option to override. The easier solution is for ZOS to set the manifest to tell windows that the launcher is not high DPI aware. Or, better, make it actually be high DPI aware.
