The microwave doesn't actually know when the popcorn is done. You have to listen to the slowing of the popcorn popping sound. When a microwave oven has a "popcorn" button, it is really just setting the microwave for the ideal temperature and time for popping microwave popcorn. It does not actually know when the popcorn is done.

A microwave is set to work at a certain power for a certain length of time by the person switching it on.
Some microwaves will have pre-determined power setting and times programmed by the manufacturer.
If these power settings and times are wrong then the potato either over cook or under cook.
